Have you ever wondered why people believe in what they do? Why different Christians read the Bible differently? What lies behind the assumptions of liberal and conservative theologies? What has been your faith journey? Have you gone through or are you going through the valleys of doubt and questioning? How do you know what has been taught to you is indeed true? Between the covers of this book, you will find a part of the journey of someone who has pondered over these and many more such questions. Whether you are a believer, a non-believer or a skeptic, this book will challenge you to think outside the box. You may see your theol-ogy or philosophy of life from a different angle. You may be sur-prised at what you read in this book. Read it to be challenged, to think through. Read it to be comforted. Above all, read it to grow—in empathy, tolerance and compassion.

About the Author

SAMUEL RAJ WAS BORN AND RAISED in a Christian community in India. After completing his undergraduate studies in Theology, History and Education, he came to Canada to do his graduate work in History. He earned his MA (1968) and Ph.D. (1972) from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon. He continued his graduate education in Religion and Philosophy at the universities of McMaster, Hamilton, and Carleton, and later obtained an MA in Marriage Counselling from St. Paul University, Ottawa, in 1982. He is a Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. He founded the Orleans Centre for Marriage and Family in 1986. He has been writing Catalyst and Table Talk & Pillow Talk for close to thirty years, each four times a year. In the former, he shares his reflection on theological, political, social issues and personal concerns. The latter is an educational bulletin, aimed at helping the reader to experience a fuller, healthier and richer life and relationships. A selection of those articles was published in 2014 by Mascot Books under the title TABLE TALK AND PILLOW TALK. Samuel is married to Suzanne Brisson since 1976, and they have two loving, successful, adult children: Althia and Mischa�l.
