To affirm who we already are? To experience diverse viewpoints? Or to simply to enjoy good writing, or a good story, and let it be just that...a story? I identify as a Christian, and I enjoyed this book very much. No doubt there are people like Nathan Price...just as there are many people NOT like him. (Brother Fowles, for example.) It's a big, wide world. (less)
