I’ve read your posts twice and am delighted to see that there are enough conflicting positions among them to suggest that we can have a lively debate about both the novel and the essays. So, let’s plan on that for class.

Andreas on moral absolutism of the anti-fundamentalist type and the definition of fundamentalism itself
Jon on the lack of plausibility in Glorious Appearing
Grecia on the ways we imagine war as warranted and what heaven looks like
Mac on the entertainment value of apocalyptic belief
