My Credo – by Robert L. Maddox, Jr.

In the twenty-first century, how do people with a faith perspective make sense of the universe, Earth, and the presence of humankind in relation to otherness? In this latest memoir, Bob Maddox reflects on his life as, what author Steven Charleston names, a “fringer”—one whose ruminations exist on the cusp of mainstream thought. This fringer mindset has led Maddox into the weeds of life and faith, as he has wrestled with preconceived notions regarding who we are as members of the genus Homo and how we relate to the world around us.

With a well-researched history of the Earth, Maddox pieces together a narrative of his own faith, scrutinizing the theology of his youth and rebuilding scaffolding that can withstand even the heaviest lines of theological questioning.
