Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paul Tillich believed that doubt is an inherent part of faith, and that it can actually strengthen one's faith by forcing them to confront and grapple with their beliefs. Therefore, option A is the best answer. Option B is false, as most people do have reasons for their religious beliefs. Option C is also false, as doubt and faith are not mutually exclusive. Option D is not supported by Tillich's ideas, and is too narrow a statement to accurately summarize his views.
