God

Sinopse

Gathered by an editor of The Atlantic Monthly, these twenty-five short stories by eminent writers of varying persuasion, including Tobias Wolff, Louise Erdrich, Philip Roth, James Joyce, Flannery O'Connor, and John Updike, deal with the question of faith - both its presence and its absence. The stories range from the comic to the passionate, from the skeptical to the mystical. Some stories make their way into the perplexities of belief, some explore the hazy perimeter of unconditional love and forgiveness, and others examine the paradoxes of discipleship. Each of these stories engages issues of deep and universal appeal. God: Stories brings the exploration of spirit to life and lofty questions within our reach.
