Very good book, but boy do you have to have your brain working to understand it! Definately not something you could read in bed! 😅

“You will solemnly bind yourself to a foreign creed” (243).

This novel is helping me understand just how radical a Catholic conversation was in Newman’s time. As the sentence above says, Catholicism was anti-English. 👀

Now I am wondering if the convoluted arguments of the Anglicans until this point were intentional. When Willis comes back on the scene, he brings so much clarity. I liked these two chapters the best in the book so far.

I wish my theology degree was more recent than 15 years ago. This book is testing my memory of specific theological questions! So far it's loosely a novel and loosely a series of conversations that the main character has with other characters about theology. I remember life being like that in college when we were always discussing some theological point or other in my small degree.
