Publisher Description

In an imaginative dialogue, Oscar Wilde asks Jesus Christ to respond to this question about critical lifestyle choices. Their talk vividly illustrates the arguments for both sensual pleasure-seeking and moral moderation. Playwright, dramatist, poet, critic - Wilde openly defied the mores of Victorian society. His literary repartee fueled an "if it feels good, do it" humanistic philosophy that is still prevalent in the world today. So what does Jesus say?

"Another great book in this series! An imaginary conversation between Oscar Wilde, Blaise Pascal, and Jesus Christ about some of life's most fascinating questions...especially those related to seeking joy and satisfaction. Very brief. Very insightful!! "

    " Excellent book. I will probably re-read this one in a year or two, to see what else I can glean from its pages. Ravi Zacharias has an amazing mind... I think I read each paragraph of this book twice, just trying to pull more and more out of it each time. "

    " One of my friends recommended this book to me. I didn't really understand The Picture of Dorian Gray, and this book goes hand-in-hand with it. It's an imagined conversation between Jesus and Oscar Wilde. Very interesting. I love Ravi Zacharias' books! "

    " Incredibly pertinent to the issues of today. Should be required reading for high school and college age people. Wonderful examination of worldview and society. Highly recommended! "

    " This is probably one of the best books I have ever read. In fact, I read it 3 times the weekend I got it. It's a very slim volume, but I love Oscar Wilde and I love Jesus. I think I'll go home tonight and read it again! "

    " Another interesting book by Ravi Zacharias. Here Jesus talks to Oscar Wilde on pleasure. Helped me realise a few truths about the futility of seeking pleasure in the world and to get my priorities right. "

    " I think this book takes a great look at the relative humanism that seems to pervade and saturate our culture today; as to what end do actions have, and are there consequences to our actions , or is there such a thing as a moral vacuum? "

    " Almost more of an essay than a 'book', this writing was interesting. I'm more of a fan of Ravi's speaking than writing, but this had a nice period feel. It lacked any deep insights and actually made me just want to read more Wilde. A decent and very quick read. "
