Roger's Version: A Novel

Roger's Version: A Novel

As Roger Lambert tells it, he, a middle-aged professor of divinity, is buttonholed in his office by Dale Kohler, an earnest young computer scientist who believes that quantifiable evidence of Godâ€™s existence is irresistibly accumulating. The theological-scientific debate that ensues, and the wicked strategies that Roger employs to disembarrass Dale of his faith, form the substance of this novelâ€”these and the current of erotic attraction that pulls Esther, Rogerâ€™s much younger wife, away from him and into Daleâ€™s bed. The novel, a majestic allegory of faith and reason, ends also as a black comedy of revenge, for this is Rogerâ€™s versionâ€”Roger Chillingworthâ€™s side of the triangle described by Hawthorneâ€™s Scarlet Letterâ€”made new for a disbelieving age.
