Span­ning more than 400 years of spir­i­tu­al trans­for­ma­tion and imag­i­na­tion, A Nation Wres­tles With God col­lects diverse writ­ers, poets, nov­el­ists, the­olo­gians, sci­en­tists, musi­cians, politi­cians, come­di­ans, artists, mav­er­icks, nat­u­ral­ists, futur­ists, and more — whose dar­ing texts incit­ed change and con­tin­ue to influ­ence a grow­ing nation. In this anthol­o­gy, you will find the sto­ries, poems, let­ters, speech­es, ser­mons, essays, song lyrics, com­ic strips, news­pa­per columns, and com­men­taries that awoke new gen­er­a­tions to free reli­gious thought, from the pre-colo­nial to the present day.
