Book Review of The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life

ChokolatteJedi avatar reviewed on + 39 more book reviews


This book has a very interesting premise, but the effect is somewhat diminished by the author's blatant support of Lewis's post-conversion view. His phrasing and what lines he chooses to quote from Lewis and Freud show a clear preference for Christianity.

If you are actually looking for help in deciding between atheism and Christianity, I think it would be more effective to read the source materials in their entirety and draw your own conclusions.

If you are looking simply for a book that explains a bit about the life and mindset of these two great men, then this is a good book to look at.
