"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 Previously unpublished writings from Schulz will move fans as they begin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."--Amazon.com ; Schulz's Peanuts comic strip franchise forever changed the
