hard para christian socialist morality Mugeridge not Shaw

This is simply an all time great novel. It has that which is required, that which is optional and that which I did not know could be written. Gunn has created a reality that neither needs nor demands disbelief from any one who has any religious knowledge - and yet creates a god who is acceptable to all faiths.Leviathan meets GBS meets Inshalla'hTo me this is a vastly underated seminal work (and when you have read it you too can find that description totally inappropriate.)When you read it, read it contemporaneously. Look at the published date of the first edition and then wonder... and wonder...And enjoy.And if you did - email me: proselytising is bl**dy hard work and deserves reward .Simon
