Dear subscribers, Enclosed is the latest essay.
All comments welcome.
I have always been an ardent admirer of Paul Johnsons articles and books, particularly on religious subjects such as A History of the Jews and A History of Christianity. I even had the wonderful occasion to twice meet with him in his London home with Dr Norman Stone, Oxfords professor of modern history. Thus it was a great pleasure when I discovered that Johnson had recently authored a book entitled The Quest for G-d. As Johnson is a proud and practising Catholic, I should not have been surprised that his views on G-d were principally of a Catholic orientation. Johnson argues that only religion in general, and Christianity in particular, provides guidance and insight as to the afterlife thus enabling man to see beyond the grave.
