(from Charles Templeton's book, Farewell to God: My Reasons for Rejecting the Christian Faith)
FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS, Charles Templeton was a major figure in the church in Canada and the United States.
During the 1950s, he and Billy Graham were the two most successful exponents of mass evangelism in North America. Templeton spoke nightly to stadium crowds of up to 30,000 people.
However, increasing doubt about the validity of the Old Testament and the teachings of the Christian church finally brought about a crisis in his faith, and in 1957 he resigned from the ministry.
