Throughout the ages, many of the world's greatest thinkers
have wrestled with the concept of and belief in God. It may
seem unlikely that any new arguments or insights could be
raised, but the twentieth century managed to produce two
brilliant men with two diametrically opposed views about 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 placed side by side for the very first
time.
For more than twenty-five years, Armand Nicholi has taught a
course at Harvard that compares the philosophical arguments
of both men. In The Question of God, Dr. Nicholi
presents the writings and letters of Lewis and Freud,
allowing them to "speak" for themselves on the subject of
belief and disbelief. Both men considered the problem of pain
and suffering, the nature of love and sex, and the ultimate
meaning of life and death--and each of them thought carefully
about the alternatives to their positions.
As the inspiration for the PBS series of the same name,
The Question of God does not presuppose whether Freud,
the devout atheist, or Lewis, the atheist-turned-believer, is
correct in his respective view. Rather, readers are urged to
join Nicholi and his students and decide for themselves which
path to follow.
