| Immense spiritual wisdom and guidance…but 100 pages could have been knocked off. Beyond repetitive, often to the point of weakening the truly edifying by unnecessary replication. | |

"The greatest novel PKD wrote, a huge departure from the rest of his work both in literary tone and the sheer quality of his female protagonist. What a way to end a career."

“The matter is quite simple. The bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined. How would I ever get on in the world? Herein lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church’s prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh, priceless scholarship, what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes it is even dreadful to be alone with the New Testament.”
