Summary:
In The Question of God, Dr. Nicholi presents the writings and letters of Lewis and Freud, allowing them to "speak" for themselves on the subject of belief and disbelief. Both men considered the problem of pain and suffereing, the nature of love and sex, and the ultimate meaning of life and death-and each of them thought carefully about the alternatives to their positions.
