In Good Faith Discussion Groups

Why join In Good Faith Discussion Groups?

Scott A. Shay, Founder and Board Chair of Chai Mitzvah, has written a book called In Good Faith.  The book is the basis of our program, In Good Faith Discussion Groups. 

In Good Faith: Questioning Religion and Atheism, has been recognized as one of the best books of 2018 by Mosaic Authors and earned a finalist award from National Jewish Books.  This book explores the most common atheist critiques of the Bible and religion, incorporating Jewish, Christian, and Muslim voices.  The result is a fresh, modern re-evaluation of religion and of atheism.

Chai Mitzvah is offering a unique curriculum designed using an exclusive In Good Faith Discussion Guide (available free here) and is also offering a complimentary copy of In Good Faith – order the book here.

In Good Faith Testimonials:

“Scott. A. Shay has made an invaluable contribution by his most readable and logically compelling In Good Faith. He demonstrates why the Bible is still – after thousands of years – one of the most well read books in every generation, why to be a religionist is at least as relevant and intellectually satisfying in our modern age as it is to be an atheist and how belief in God can direct an intelligent and sensitive person towards a more meaningful and ethically-charged life. It is a must-read especially for every sensitive young adult thinking about how to live his or her life!” —Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, Founder and Chancellor of the Ohr Torah Stone Institutions Curriculum

“Scott Shay invites everyone to the table: Jews, Christians, Muslims, scientific rationalists, and skeptics of all stripes. But it’s for the serious purpose of showing how belief in the God of the Abraham religions can be an ally of scientific inquiry and efforts to build bridges of understanding in today’s multi-religious and secular age. Undergraduates and adult learners in faith communities will find here much food for thought, as well as some delightful storytelling.” —Bishop James Massa, Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, Former Executive Director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

“In Good Faith is written with sincerity, honesty and intelligence. The book presents ideas in a straightforward manner without overbearing theological and philosophical language and without a dogmatic tone. In Good Faith reveals a depth of knowledge by Shay of the religious situation in contemporary Western Society and especially in America. I hope that many readers take advantage of this resource. They will be intellectually rewarded for having done so.” —Professor Sayyed Hossein Nasr, Islamic Studies, Washington University
