Bible thumpers, old and new

[Joseph Tracy]

Not a thumper per se,  kind of a non pietist Quaker, sentient  
rockster, medieval craftsman type with a large capacity for useless  
information, but I know the Bible well and have written several posts  
pointing out  what appear to me to be strong Biblical references in  
ATD. Still somewhat mystified by Pynchon's take on spirituality, but  
he seems to regard spiritual dimensions as quite probably real,  
coexistent, interactive and humorously strange, sadly misunderstood,  
and tragically hopeful.

I, for one , look forward to the possibility that "Friend Tom " will  
arrive again, well read in the ways of the Pynchon and ready to bring  
us some good news.
