The New Doubting Thomas: The Bible, Black Folks & Blind Belief

The New Doubting Thomas: The Bible, Black Folks & Blind Belief

Thomas, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, is primarily known for doubting the resurrection of Jesus and wanting to see his savior's wounds as proof. The Thomas of today represents all those who have legitimate questions and reasonable doubts regarding the bible's fantastic claims as well as the assertions of divinely inspired men behind its creation. The current age of information reveals new generations of individuals who refuse to allow their logic and natural curiosities to be held hostage between the pages of Genesis and Revelation. The decline in religious affiliation in many parts of the world serves as evidence of this. Blind, unquestioning acceptance regarding faith is no longer dictated by fear. Biblical dogma is inevitably coming into question. The New Doubting Thomas specifically explores the African-American dynamic with the Christian faith and its impingement upon Black culture. The book delves into the myths and motivations behind priestly doctrines while also addressing the mental side effects of blindly believing in primitive tales based upon what God allegedly proclaimed.
