The Doubting Believer

Obadiah Sedgwick

Obadiah Sedgwick sets out to answer the question almost all Christians have asked themselves: Have I truly been saved? In this treatise fashioned by pastoral wisdom and care, Sedgwick addresses the doubt that Christians often feel on their walk with Christ. Discerning the nature and types of doubts, as well as expertly providing biblically faithful applications, the author provides a sweet salve to the hearts of Christian readers. Sedgwick urges Christians to probe deeply into their faith to see how the pursuit of piety, trust in the promises of Scripture, and ultimately love for God quickly remedy a doubting heart.

OBADIAH SEDGWICK (ca. 1600-1658) was a Puritan pastor and prominent member of the Westminster Assembly. Other modern editions of his works include The Anatomy of Secret Sins, Christ’s Counsel to His Languishing Church, and Providence Handled Practically.
