Christianity in recent years has witnessed the burgeoning phenomenon of deconstruction.

Those who find themselves in the process of deconstruction are asking with renewed vigour:

“Is what I have always believed actually true?” “What about this specific doctrine and what about that one?” “What if uncertainty is the only thing I can be certain about?” “What if what I was taught was wrong?”

Genuine questions like these, plus many more, capture the essence of deconstruction. It is a stage or process of revisiting, reexamining, and rethinking one’s religious beliefs that were previously believed, or perhaps assumed, to be true.

Thinking through one’s faith honestly is critical in the Christian worldview, and intellectual honesty is vital for our church. For, Christianity should be believed for no other reason than because it is true. Giving voice to silent doubts and troubling questions declutters the mind and soul allowing it to finally breathe the air of truth. To that end we enter this series. As author C.S. Lewis famously wrote, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
