The Question of God. Program 1
Description
This first program tells how in childhood both C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud embraced their family's religions. But the early death of Lewis's mother and the horrors he witnessed in World War I tested his faith. Later, Lewis found his once-passionate atheism troubling, and began searching for faith again. Freud, studying medicine in the age of Darwin, found he had no use for a creator. In developing his theory of psychoanalysis, he came to see belief in God as just human fantasy. To grapple with questions raised by Freud's and Lewis's ideas, Dr. Nicholi leads a panel of seven thoughtful men and women in a discussion of the influences that cause us to embrace or reject religious belief.
