Reddit mentions of I (Still) Believe: Leading Bible Scholars Share Their Stories of Faith and Scholarship

Currently in seminary and it has done both. It's really what you make it. It's also crazy how often what you're reading and learning about is directly related to what's happening in your life.

Also, I highly recommend the book I Still Believe. It's a compilation of autobiographical essays by prominent biblical scholars (probably the most famous is Walter Brueggemann) who have remained Christian despite all of their intense study of scripture and theology.

Also, the prominent American theologian Stanley Haeurwas' memoir Hannah's Child is really good.

I am a Christian and a NT PhD student. I went to a Southern Baptist college and an evangelical seminary. I used to identify as evangelical, but no longer identify as such for theological and political reasons. I still consider myself rather conservative, but many of my conservative friends don't agree with me.

You may want to check out the book I Still Believe. It contains essays on personal faith from a number of scholars including James Dunn, Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Morna Hooker, Richard Bauckham, Gordon Fee, and others. The book is a little uneven, as these types of books usually are, but you may gain some insights from these scholars' experiences balancing faith and scholarship.
