About this title

Synopsis

Records a conversation between a rationalist and a clergyman about the role of God on September 11, whether religious differences played a part, how religion responds to the bereaved and the traumatized, and related issues.

About the Author

Formerly senior staff writer for Scientific American, John Horgan is the acclaimed author of the controversial bestseller, The End of Science, translated into 11 languages. His newest book, Rational Mysticism — based on in-depth interviews with the world's preeminent religious philosophers, scientists of the mind, and mystical practitioners—will be published by Houghton Mifflin within the next year.

Rev. Frank Geer is the rector of St. Philips Church in Garrison, New York, and the director of religious services at St. Luke's–Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan, where he served in the months after September 11 as a grief counselor to the families of the victims and to the survivors of the World Trade Center disaster.
