I owe a further debt to Rowan Williams for recommending Tim Vivian, Professor of Philosophy & Religious Studies at California State University Bakersfield, as a reviewer of the book. His helpful comments greatly improved it. Thanks are due as well to Joe Reidy, Adjunct Professor of History at Saint Louis University, for troubleshooting the novel’s historical plausibility. Rarely did I ignore their suggestions, and always at my peril.
