Abstract
Atheism, doubt and skepticism entertain the daily life of our lives. The believer also experiences the abandonment of God.
If we find ourselves in this situation, how can we get out of it? Is it not that the person who lives in doubt makes the way to the authentic search for God? A good deal of doubt, sometimes of disbelief, is of great importance in reaching an adult spirituality, achieved in the struggle against the temptations of the emotional impasse and fundamentalism. Anselm Grün and Tomáš Halík, two prominent contemporary spiritual masters-writers, reveal to us, from their own experiences of God, that faith and unbelief, such as doubt and questioning, are facets of the same reality and are part of own image of God.
