In this probing, challenging and personal account of his own faith and feelings about God and religion, Paul Johnson explores the evidence for God's existence; the nature and gender of God; the problem of evil; beauty, art and God; our responsibilities towards animals and the environment; the importance of authority, ceremony and liturgy; the Christian church and other faiths; changing attitudes towards death; the Day of Judgment; the existence of Hell; and the uses of prayer. Johnson asks and answers such questions as Who and what is God? Did God gives us a conscience? How can God help us with the problems of evil and suffering? And he shows why we need not fear death and how we can realize the power of prayer.
