God. Is He an anachronistic irrelevance in today’s world of silicone chips and designer babies? Every day across the globe, extraordinary deeds of good and evil are committed in His name. <br/> On the eve of the millennium, Oscar-winning screenwriter and author of ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ Frederic Raphael embarks on four remarkable pilgrimages, seeking to answer the fundamental questions concerning God, religion and dogma – and the modern world. He begins his search in time-honoured detective-show style: by visiting God’s last known address. From Jerusalem he seeks out Buddhism and Islam in Asia, Catholicism in Spain and finally Puritanism and fundamentalist extremes in the USA.
