A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Unlike recent authors who emphatically say No! or Yes! to God, Michael Krasny is among the millions who know they don t know. As a radio host, college professor, and literary scholar, he has spent decades leading conversations on every imaginable topic. He s discussed life s most important questions with the foremost thinkers in virtually every discipline. And yet answers to some questions, the big, 3:00-in-the-morning questions, elude him. Pondering them in this book, Krasny is a pure seeker, one who doesn t discount belief systems or ridicule faith. His quest is informed by the full power of our cultural heritage: artists, scientists, world events, and even films. He takes readers on an exploration of morality, mortality, why we do good, and why evil sometimes triumphs. Personal and universal, timely and timeless, this is a deeply wise yet warmly welcoming conversation, an invitation to ask one s own questions no matter how inconclusive the answers.
