Title: What I Believe Subtitle: 3 Complete Essays on Religion Author: Bertrand Russell Narrator: Terrence Hardiman Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 305 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Religious Figures Publisher's Summary: Remarkably relevant, beautifully written, and filled with wit and wisdom, these 3 essays by Bertrand Russell allow the listener to test the concepts of The Good Life, Morality, The Existence of God, Christianity, and Human Nature. "What I Believe" was used prominently in the 1940 New York court proceedings in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at City College of New York. "Why I Am Not a Christian" concludes that churches throughout history have retarded progress and states that we should instead "look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in." Finally, "A Free Man's Worship," perhaps the most famous single essay written by Russell, considers whether humans operate from free will. (P)1995 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp. Critic Reviews: "Russell is one of our time's brilliant spokesmen of rationality and humanity, a fearless champion of free speech and free thought." (The Swedish Academy, on awarding Bertrand Russell the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1950)
