| Description: |
William J. O'Malley, SJ has taught theology and religion to young people for over fifty years. He has taught more than five thousand student in high schools and universities in the US, England and Australia and resides at Fordham University in New York.
In his latest book, Fr O'Malley's approach is forthright, down-to-earth and relentlessly honest. The questions he raises are truly, objectively important. As the text will keep insisting, God's existence is a matter of incontrovertible fact. If God exists, no amount of disbelief will make God disappear. If God truly does not exist, the fiercest belief, or its near universality, or its consistency in human history will not make God real...
..."At least at the outset, forget Catholicism and getting them to Mass. For awhile, forget even Christianity. The only question is 'Are we created with a purpose or merely accidents?' Don't try to get them to Mass just to 'save their souls from hell.' If they worship, let it be because they need to show thanks...for the chance to be alive and a personal appreciation for the unmarketable value of integrity.' - From the introduction
"God Questions" challenges adults to reflect honestly on their faith and sets out important questions that can open a discussion with their children or students. Based on the structure of his earlier publication, "Meeting the Living God", "God Questions" gives adults, especially parents and teachers, the tools with which to discuss the important questions of faith and belief with young people. As the author notes, this shared quest will be meaningful to both parent/teacher and youngster "only if the question of the child's belief or disbelief in God is more important than whether he or she chooses to be a Democrat or a Republican." |
