Every Question Will be Asked

by Harold Coplan

Edited by Stanley A. Edlavitch, PhD., MA.

Every Question Will Be Asked is a thought-provoking poem about survival and significance written by Harold Coplan as he searched for God and his place in God’s existence. A Jewish Kohein, educated and knowledgeable in the ways of both Orthodox and Reform Judaism, Coplan nonetheless had questions as his life led him from being a tortured POW to becoming a successful family and businessman. Coplan questioned his faith, his reason for living, his place in God’s plans, and God’s place in his plans.

In Every Question Will Be Asked, Coplan explores paradoxical questions about knowledge, creation, infinity, and God’s need for us as opposed to our need for God. These are timeless questions for every believer, seeker, and nonbeliever.
