In "Auf Gottes Wegen" ("In God's Way") Bjornson raises up the problems of morality.
The book's main theme is how religious issues lead to a bitter conflict between two friends, a clergyman and a doctor. Only in the light of dearly bought experience do they both realize - and in particular the priest, who is most in need of it - that "where good people walk, there is God's way". The didactic strain is strongly evident in this book but Bjornson's humour and narrative zest, as well as his talent for making his characters come alive, carries the reader along with him.
