Fw: Pynchon, Dante and Divine Light

[Mark Kohut]

Probably right on.....
BUT, for possible discussion (needing further research)....

IF, the Jesuit priest [sic] who wrote that bit about Dante in his History of
Philosophy is mostly right, is it possible that whatever was later translated as GOD IS LIGHT
was influenced by Dante's "analysis" since the Bible Dante knew was not translated
into English when he wrote?

It goes back a little further...

1 John 1:5 - This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that GOD IS LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at all.
