Some are wrestling with perennial questions of the Bible's inerrancy or God's goodness in an evil world. Many postmoderns are especially skeptical about spiritual matters. And others come out of frustration with the church or a Christian group, having been shunned for their spiritual questions or doubts.
"People are starved for a place were they can get the big issues of the world out on the table and discuss them," Keyes said. "Students who come to L'Abri will often say, 'I'm giving my faith one more chance before I chuck it.'"
