Synopsis
A brilliant dissection and reconstruction of the three major faith-based systems of belief in the world today - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - by one of the world's most articulate philosophers, Slavoj Zizek, in conversation with fellow Slovenian philosopher and priest Boris Gunjevic. God in Pain shows how each faith understands humanity and divinity - and how the differences between the faiths may be far stranger than they may at first seem.
