Аннотация
Faith, Interrupted is a profoundly personal, deeply felt exploration of the mystery of faithhaving it, losing it, hoping for its return.The son of an Episcopal priest, Eric Lax develops in his youth a deep religious attachment and an acute moral compassone that he is willing to go to prison for when it leads him to resist military service in Vietnam. His faith abides until, in his mid-thirties, he begins to question the unquestionable: the role of God in his life. In response, Lax engages with the father who inspired him and with his best friend, a Vietnam War hero turned priest. Their ongoing and illuminating dialogues, full of wisdom and insight, reveal much about three men who approach God, duty, and war in vastly different ways. Lax provides an unusual and refreshing perspective, examining religious conviction sympathetically from both sides as one who has lost his faith but still respects it.From the Trade Paperback edition.
