Re: How is your Saturday going?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm re-reading a book series I liked as a teen for the first time in twenty years. I remembered parts of the adventure and 1 (one) joke; I did not remember it being so very religious/Christian.

Isn't it funny the things that fly over us as children. There have definitely been books I've re-read as an adult where I am shocked at some of the topics or jokes that I missed when first reading it.

I can recognize so much context now! The strong influence of the Narnia Chronicles, for example.

What are you reading?

I don't think they've been translated into English? It's the Neschan trilogy by German author Ralf Isau: Die Träume des Jonathan Jabbok (The Dreams of Jonathan Jabbok), Das Geheimnis des siebsten Richters (The Secret of the Seventh Magistrate) and Das Lied der Befreiung Neschans (The Song of Neschan's Deliverance).

Left Behind, by any chance?

Isn't that a very Christian series? Seems like not something that could have been missed upon the first reading.

(OP)
Trust me, though it's a different book, there's no missing the Christianity in this one either.
Though, to be fair - I've forgotten about the strong religious themes, but I'm sure if you'd asked me at the time, I'd have been able to point them out. I read a lot of books by this author and I remember understanding even then that he picked one or two topics for each book that he then focused on in the story: there was one about Gods in Mesopotamia, one about Synesthesia, one about the internet and so on. I'd have realized that the theme for this one was Christianity.

It's a very "Christian" series, I'll call it that.

Fred "slacktivist" Clark has been ripping it apart for a long time now.
