The Quest for God: A Personal Pilgrimage
Though a spate of religious quest books have appeared in recent years, Johnson's book is neither a search for the historical Jesus nor a quasi-mystical personal odyssey. Johnson, it seems, is perfectly happy with the faith of his father and as accustomed to the Catholic Church &quot;as a much-loved old teddy bear or a favorite armchair or a smelly old favorite dog.&quot; A journalist and historian, Johnson has written an apologia in which he answers such basic questions as &quot;What is God, then?&quot; and &quot;Is there an alternative to God?&quot; His answers surprise, provoke, and even provide comfort.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
