Description

Good God! (And Other Follies) takes a critical and satirical look at the wave of religiosity now sweeping the country. From faith-based initiatives to bans on stem cell research, from public postings of the Ten Commandments to attacks on evolution, American godliness has apparently never had it so good. Much of this behavior and even more of the God-talk accompanying it, whether fueled by passionate faith, cultural resentment, or political opportunism, is intellectually absurd. This book points out this absurdity and explores the underlying fallacies, contradictions and, at times, sheer nonsense that beset not only Christianity, but Judaism and Islam as well. Review No one now writing--not Gore Vidal, not Christopher Hitchens, absolutely no one-- writes about religion with a wit more wicked than Peter Heinegg's. In Good God!, Heinegg does for our day what Erasmus did for his in The Praise of Folly. A tour de force of high hilarity and merciless erudition.--Jack Miles, author of God: A Biography About the Author Peter Heinegg is Professor of English at Union College. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in Comparative Literature. He is an accomplished author publishing Better Than Both (University Press of America, 2005.)
