An ardent believer himself, Monda talks both with atheists (asked what she feels when she meets a believer, Grace Paley replies: \"I respect his thinking and his beliefs, but at the same time I think he's deluded\") and other believers, their discussion ranging from personal images of God (Michael Cunningham sees God as a black woman, Derek Walcott as a wise old white man with a beard) to religion's place in American culture, from the afterlife to the concepts of good and evil, from fundamentalism to the Bible. And almost without fail, the conversations turn to questions of art and literature. Toni Morrison discusses Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner, Richard Ford invokes Wallace Stevens, and David Lynch draws attention to the religious aspects of Bu-uel, Fellini...and Harold Ramis's \u003ci\u003eGroundhog Day\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Do You Believe?: Conversations on God and Religion | Antonio Monda | Paperback | 9780307280589 | Used: Like New | Literary Collections 1765067","offer_id":49383328448664,"sku":"1765067","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/715WqAd3YXL_330f75ca-25e0-428a-bbec-fc4db88e69bc.jpg?v=1783166682","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/do-you-believe-conversations-on-god-and-religion-136","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
