One Of The Great Tasks of Mortimer Adler's illustrious life was his search for a watertight proof of the existence of God. Adler believed that his search had been successful. How to Prove There Is a God includes a transcript of one of Adler's appearances on William Buckley's Firing Line TV show, Adler's revealing interview with Edward Wakin, the exchange of views on natural theology between Mortimer Adler and Owen Gingerich, arid John Cramer's eloquent argument that the trend of modern cosmology supports Adler's position. 'A final section of the book looks back to the 1940's for Adler's early struggles with the philosophical question of God's existence. Ken Dzugan, a graduate of MIT, had enjoyed a varied career in business, city planning, and real estate development, when In 1990 he read Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book "This experience transformed my life. It dramatically changed what I read, how I read, and why I read." In his role as Archivist at the Center for the Study of The Great Ideas, Dzugan is working his way through over 200,000 pages of Dr. Adler's, papers, and has found over four hundred works never listed in any Alder bibliography, including one entire completed book. --Book Jacket.
