I have been reading this avidly. One/some of the people who had a
get-together with Chrissie and Faera in New York gave this book and the
Elaine Pagels to Faera to bring to me. The combination of the two works is
just dynamite. I was able to read Pagels easily in a few sittings, but
Eddins is so tight that my mind literally reels off into the ozone every
page or so. Really nice man, too. I wrote to him about what I perceived to
be a slighting remark about Playboy's scholarship and he wrote me a charming
and tactful explanation.
