      abstract = {"In 1763, the young James Boswell left Great Britain for a  'Grand Tour' of the Continent. The tour was a tradition  among British and Scottish youths; by visiting the great  historical sites, especially those of Roman and Greek  antiquity, they would complete the studies they had begun  at universities back home. Boswell's tour, however, was  different: he was less concerned with the ruins of the past  than the thinkers of the present. In particular, he was  eager to question the leading figures of the Enlightenment  on matters of faith and God--of particular importance to  Boswell, who had been raised in the dour and dire  atmosphere of the Church of Scotland. In his remarkable  conversations with figures like Voltaire, Rousseau, and  Hume, we see a man struggling with the claims of reason and  needs of faith--a struggle that remains very much our own  250 years later"--},
