A propos de cet article

A renowned historian turns his gaze to the ultimate questions, exploring why belief endures and what God means in an age of doubt. In this probing, challenging and personal account of his feelings about God and religion, Paul Johnson shares with others the strength and comfort of his own faith. Addressing the moral calamities of the twentieth century, the author examines how religious conviction outlasted every totalitarian attempt to banish the idea of God. Across a wide survey of secular philosophy, the book weighs the persistent voice of conscience against the failures of godless ideologies. Johnson reflects upon the enduring foundations of Christian hope, considering everything from the daily discipline of private prayer to the mystery of the last things. Informed by his great knowledge of history, The Quest for God is written with force, lucidity and eloquence by the author of Intellectuals, Modern Times, A History of the Jews and other works. Biblical Archaeology: Explores how twentieth-century excavations at Mari and Nuzu recovered thousands of ancient cuneiform tablets that illuminate the legal transactions of Genesis patriarchs. Church History: Traces the historic struggle for institutional independence from secular rulers, from Pope Gregory VII's defiance during the Investiture Contest to resistance against modern totalitarian states. Philosophy of Religion: Examines classical arguments for the divine, from St Thomas Aquinas's fourth proof based on the reality of beauty to the cosmic implications of modern astrophysics and the Big Bang. Daily Practices: Delves into the spiritual necessity of personal contrition, from nightly examinations of conscience to the enduring solace found in ancient psalmody. Also by This Author: History of the Jews.…
