Thomas The Doubter Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Thomas got tagged as the doubter because of his one experience. On this basis he gained a reputation as if he was a skeptic. The fact is we have as much evidence on record as we need to call him Thomas the dedicated defender.

No one ever calls John the Baptist John the doubter, yet his experience of doubt was far more serious than ...read more
