Throughout the ages, many of the world's greatest thinkers have wrestled together with the concept of -- and belief in -- God. It may seem unlikely this any new arguments or insights could be raised, but the twentieth century managed to produce two brilliant men together with two diametrically opposed views concerning the question of God: Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis. They never had an actual meeting, but in The Question of God, their arguments are located side by side for the very first time.
For extra than twenty-five years, Armand Nicholi has taught a course at Harvard this evaluates the philosophical arguments of together men. In The Question of God, Dr. Nicholi presents the writings and letters of Lewis and Freud, allowing them to "talk" for themselves on the subject of belief and disbelief. Together men considered the problem of pain and suffering, the nature of love and sex, and the ultimate meaning of life and death -- and every of them thought carefully concerning the alternatives to their positions.
The inspiration for the PBS series of the same name, The Question of God does not presuppose which man -- Freud the devout atheist or Lewis the atheist-turned-believer -- is correct in his views. Rather, readers are urged to join Nicholi and his students and decide for themselves which path to follow.
