I thought the same thing, even though I figured the author probably didn't mean the Keeper to be a direct equivalent to God. Still, the parallels, the echoes, are there.<BR/><BR/>All 3 days' posts are great ...

That's one of the pitfalls of CFS. You almost search for God in the pages too much.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Rachel A.

After all, they had been told Beastmen roamed freely and it was a world of thorned filled forests and smelly swamps.Fantasythymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915859806092149333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10487188.post-91232901202429676932008-01-22T13:51:00.000-06:002008-01-22T13:51:00.000-06:00I suppose that's one of the dangers of not doing C...I suppose that's one of the dangers of not doing Christian analogues. The reader might draw conclusions that the author didn't intend.

Overstreet says to hold off dubbing the Keeper as a God figure. <BR/><BR/>I certainly thought parallels were evident.<BR/><BR/>But to your point about Jesus, even the disciples, when they saw Him walking to their boat in the middle of the night, thought they saw a monster--well, a ghost, which is close, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>The truth is, when God or His agents showed up in the Bible, people ended up face down on the ground or at least shoeless and on their knees.<BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.com
