Description
Lewis Black, the bitingly funny comedian, social critic and bestselling author comes up with some answers to questions about faith - or at least his answers. In more than two dozen essays that investigate everything from the differences between how Christians and Jews celebrate their holidays to the politics of faith, to the individual search for transcendence - Black irreverently and hilariously explores his unique odyssey through religion and belief.
