N2  - Albert Camus, the renowned existentialist, visited the American Church in Paris to hear the music of the famous organist Marcel Dupř. What he found was an unexpected friend-Howard Mumma, a Methodist minister from Ohio who was serving as a guest preacher. Intrigued by Mumma's philosophy and theology based on a living faith in a higher power, Camus invited Mumma to lunch, and thus a surprising friendship was formed. Over the next several years, through a series of profound conversations with Howard Mumma, Camus explored the Christian faith. These discussions, as recalled by Mumma in the first part of this book, offer a deeply personal side of Camus not seen by the public eye. In the second part, Mumma shares personal glimpses of the people and experiences that had a profound influence on his own life, enabling him to understand what Camus was facing in his personal life
