CONTINUATION

If Bill O’Reilly ever comes across yesterday’s blog, his explanation will probably be something like this: I (not we) wasn’t trying to write a magnum opus, but just a simple story that everyone could understand. That’s fine; we need that kind of story. And it was easy to read, in places seeming like reading from the Bible, and tears came to my eyes as I read about Christ’s great agony. But even the most-unread person in your readership would surely like the ending of the story included. After all, that’s what Easter is about: the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, and the promise of the eventual Resurrection of the faithful. Even Webster knows this. Look it up in his book, a dictionary.

You say you two writers are Catholics. Does the Catholic faith not celebrate Easter? Doesn’t it believe in the Resurrection? If not, is that why your crucifixes show Christ still hanging on the cross these thousands of years? The Catholic Church is limiting the power of omnipotent God when it demonstrates His works in such crucifixes. You do need to publish a brief sequel and explain the rest of the story in pithy detail.

But you have, unawares, increased the vocabulary of a host of people. Those who did not know, before reading Killing Jesus, what in the world such a name as Church of the Nazarene meant, now know. It’s Protestant. ♥
