WHY versus WHY NOT?
Â
Why did God place us in a world full of pleasures if we aren’t meant to pursue them all?
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
SO WHAT does JESUS SAY?
