This is a short followup to – or more properly side issue to – Riad's Gospel of Lie. Here, he claims to have uncovered a 1978 treatise by one Wahid Abdul Masseih, "The Critique of Coptic Reason," that tries to turn the Coptic church on its head in much the way the presumed writer of Lie attempted with all of Christian belief. It's fascinating and it works, but will likely only fully appeal to someone who, like Riad, has an intensive, furious interest in religious studies and history (or who, like me, just gets off on such things).
It's always interesting to find a piece that doesn’t "fit" anywhere, not into a genre or any normally accepted mold. It reflects an intense and shimmering mind that asks for no justification. More of us should be like that.
