Dear God: Songs of Doubt
|
Aristotle described philosophy as the art of doubting well, but in the world of religion doubt's generally unwelcome. Of course that doesn't stop a lot people, including many devout believers, experiencing severe doubt at some stage in their life and this week we hear songs exploring that sense of doubt and uncertainty, from Jeff Buckley, XTC, Morrissey, and Katie Noonan with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
