Thinking Aloud Allowed! Thinking about God went into a black hole in the 60's with "God Is Dead." Fundamentalism doesn't count, because there's no thinking there. Here's a book that goes all the way into that black hole and comes out the far end — into liberation. This challenge is for persons who can read and like to think, and can still sense wonder. The fresh air is wonderful!
Harry Willson is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, '58, where was declared "Master of Divinity." He served as missionary-pastor in New Mexico for eight years, and then demitted. He taught high school for ten years, and then entered what he calls "the real world." He has worked as mythologist, lecturer, essayist, dream counselor, columnist, playwright, gardener, beekeeper, bookkeeper, basketmaker and businessman. He is author of several books of fiction, including "A World for the Meek" [an apocalyptic "upper"], "Vermin: Humanity as an Endangered Species" [cautionary tales and essays], and "This'll Kill Ya" [the last word on censorship]. Can a book be dangerous? In FREEDOM FROM GOD, he finds the word "God" too contaminated to be useful, but he still experiences wonder, more than ever. His other published books, have prepared the way for this clear and liberating statement.
He lives in Albuquerque.
