Godseeker Examines Personal Faith and Freedom
Book review of Sinclair Lewis’s The Godseeker notes Aaron Gadd’s search for true religion, finding faith within the heart rather than in a church. The novel follows his western travels, a rendezvous with a trader’s half breed daughter, and a pivotal pamphlet about heathen white men. Critics say the book moves fast, has a worthwhile message, and strong satire in parts.
