Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip franchise, the most
successful of all time, forever changed the industry. For more than
half a century, the endearing, witty insights brought to life by
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and Lucy have caused newspaper
readers and television viewers across the globe to laugh, sigh,
gasp, and ponder. A Charlie Brown Religion explores one of the most
provocative topics Schulz broached in his heartwarming
work-religion.Based on new archival research and original
interviews with Schulz's family, friends, and colleagues, author
Stephen J. Lind offers a new spiritual biography of the life and
work of the great comic strip artist. In his lifetime, aficionados
and detractors both labeled Schulz as a fundamentalist Christian or
as an atheist. Yet his deeply personal views on faith have eluded
journalists and biographers for decades. Previously unpublished
writings from Schulz will move fans as they begin to see the
nuances of the humorist's own complex, intense journey toward
understanding God and faith. "There are three things that I've
learned never to discuss with people," Linus says, "Religion,
politics, and the Great Pumpkin." Yet with the support of religious
communities, Schulz bravely defied convention and dared to express
spiritual thought in the "funny pages," a secular, mainstream
entertainment medium. This insightful, thorough study of the 17,897
Peanuts newspaper strips, seventy-five animated titles, and global
merchandising empire will delight and intrigue as Schulz considers
what it means to believe, what it means to doubt, and what it means
to share faith with the world.
