The Quest for God by Paul Johnson

The Quest for God by Paul Johnson

In an attempt to understand why religious faith lives on in the 20th century, the author of Modern Times and Intellectuals writes an incisive, probing examination of the relationship between humankind and God and the need for religious faith.aDespite all predictions to the contrary, religious faith in the 20th century hasn't died. In fact, it is experiencing an enormous resurgence. Johnson explores and explains this phenomenon and his own personal feelings about God and faith, addressing in the process central questions such as Who and What is God? How can He help us with the widespread problems of evil and suffering? What is the role of churches and dogma in our spiritual lives? Why must we experience death? What is Hell? Why must we pray and how do we do it? His answers surprise, provoke, inspire, and comfort.
