What I Believe conducts a spiritual survey that is at once both deeply personal and inescapably universal. Perhaps more so than any of Mauriac's other works, What I Believe offers common ground for Christians and nonbelievers alike, as his revelation of belief and doubt stands as an invitation to approach the Christian mystery with an open mind. Of particular interest, from a literary standpoint, is the chapter on “Purity,” which sheds light on much of Mauriac’s acclaimed and complicated fiction.
