God

"Does God exist? Is belief reasonable? Do the answers to these questions make any practical difference in the way we live? These questions - asked by religious seekers for countless millennia - can be answered in the affirmative, says William O'Malley, Jesuit priest and prolific popular writer. In God - The Oldest Question, O'Malley shows readers why with a careful argument that combines irreverent wit, high intellectual seriousness, and personal confession." "O'Malley ranges widely through modern science, classical philosophy, literature and art, and the religious traditions of East and West. Yet he also probes his own heart. In part, God - The Oldest Question is an account of O'Malley's own intellectual and spiritual journey, which included a shattering crisis of faith only a year before he was to be ordained a priest - a crisis that a careful study of the arguments of atheist thinkers helped him later resolve. This painfully honest and intellectually inspiring book enlists both the mind and the heart in an ultimately satisfying quest for God."--Jacket.
