Lorenzo Albacete, a close friend of Pope John Paul II, physicist, and New York Times columnist, shows that religion has a place amid conversations on science and contemporary culture. With humor and honesty, Albacete answers questions about life and death, good and evil, science and religion, religion and politics, and other issues. "Reading it is like having a stay up-all-night, jump-out-of-your-chair, have-another-double-espresso marathon conversation with one of the world’s most swashbuckling talkers."  —Hendrik Hertzberg, The New Yorker
