Free to Live & to Love God

The Question of God: C. S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life
by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.
New York: The Free Press, 2002
(295 pages; $25.00, cloth)

reviewed by Preston Jones

Sporting the apparatus of your standard work in pop psychology, this book’s dust cover could turn serious and hurried readers away. First, there’s the obligatory “Dr.” before the author’s name (as in, “Thanks for taking my call, Dr. Laura”). And then there’s the author’s photographed grin that seems to say, “I know what ails you, dysfunctional man.”

"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
