Letter to a Man in the Fire: Does God Exist and Does He Care Paperback - 2000
by Reynolds Price
What began as a response to a letter he received asking, "Does God exist and does He care?" became this book where Price explores the phenomenon of God's seeming desertions in the face of human suffering, and examples of healing and beauty against insurmountable odds.
From the rear cover
In April 1997, Reynolds Price received an eloquent letter from a reader of his cancer memoir, A Whole New Life. The correspondent, a young medical student diagnosed with cancer himself and facing his own mortality, asked these difficult questions. The two began a long-distance correspondence, culminating in Price's thoughtful response, originally delivered as the Jack and Lewis Rudin Lecture at Auburn Theological Seminary, and now expanded onto the printed page as Letter to a Man in the Fire.
Harvesting a variety of sources -- diverse religious traditions; classical and modern texts; and a lifetime of personal experiences, interactions, and spiritual encounters -- Price meditates on God's participation in our fate. With candor and sympathy, he offers the reader such a rich variety of tools to explore these questions as to place this work in the company of other great testaments of faith from St. Augustine to C. S. Lewis.
Letter to a Man in the Fire moves as much as it educates. It is a rare combination of deep erudition, vivid prose, and profound humanity.
