| book description |

A historic collection of the radicals and freethinkers that sparked a countryâ€™s journey through divinityâ€”praising, challenging, and redefining the sacred. Spanning more than 400 years of spiritual transformation and imagination, A Nation Wrestles with God collects diverse writersâ€”poets, novelists, theologians, scientists, musicians, politicians, comedians, artists, mavericks, naturalists, futurists, and moreâ€”whose daring texts incited dialogue, even change, and continue to influence a growing nation. From the pre-colonial to the present day, these landmark stories, poems, essays, letters, speeches, songs, comic strips, and more awoke new generations to free religious thought. On the occasion of Americaâ€™s 250th year of independence, and during a time of deep idealogical division, this sweeping anthology is an urgent reminder of the pluralities that strengthen and unite us.
