Death by exposure to Manicheanism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Partisian's right, Towne and Strnigfellow paint an accurate, contemporary picture of Bishop Pike. Most people interested in the controversy surrounding the bishop and his trial for heresy nowadays will likely be Philip K. Dick fans eager to delve into the figure behind Bishop Archer in Transmigration of. Towne and Stringfellow provide the chance to do so. Readers can form their own conclusions on what Pike was really looking for in Judaea, what his views on the Trinity were and how his religious thought evolved towards what was then, in the 1960s, a radical form of social activism. Readers should know the authors don't like to beat around the proverbial burning bush as PKD does when he mulls Pike's life and death over. Their account reads more like trial testimony in places than Wilderness Revolt Action Adventures starring St. Thomas and John the Baptist vs. Evil Roman Time Travelling Tyrants. Still, a pearl at a pretty price for mere mortals managing to get buy on a meagre alotment.
An honest portrait of an intriguing figure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Pike was one of the most controversial figures in American theological history. Before his mysterious death in the Judean desert the Bishop of California wrote on everything from situational ethics to the occult, he was a leading figure in the movement to desegregate the Christian church, was the target of a heresy trial that only succeeded in discrediting the whole concept of heresy in the American church. Towne and Stringfellow were Pike's contemporaries and thus this book is the best guide to the Bishop's life yet written.
