Politics of Second Language Writing In Search of the Promised Land

Searching for Faith: A SkepticÆs Journey is intended for the general reader. It is not a scholarly book; however, it is the result of a decades-long interest in how readers read and how texts convey their meaning, leavened by a very personal commitment to the quest for faith. It explores timely questions that must concern anyone who thinks about faith, particularly insofar as faith is based on the Bible. Readers are invited to join the author in thinking about faith and the individualÆs own history; the nature of prayer; the problems of reading scripture; the nature of sin and gui< the apparently insuperable enigmas of the Bib conceptions of God; the ômessagesö that the Bible conveys; and capitalism and Christianity. Finally, Searching for Faith offers a view of faith based on the great poetic and pragmatic traditions of the United States: the philosophy of William James and John Dewey and the poetry of Walt Whitman and Wallace Stevens. Written in a graceful, accessible style, Searching for Faith is an introduction to faith that rational people can embrace.Winterowd, W.
