The Parable of the Somewhat Dissatisfied Reader
There once was a woman who read a book. It was an ordinary book with an extraordinary concept: What if Christ hadn’t come to Israel 2000 years ago but to America, today? The woman was intrigued.
She read the book quickly; it was a fairly easy read. She thought it was somewhat interesting and that it provided a few thought-provoking moments. But this book didn’t move her the way she expected it might. For such a fascinating concept, the book left her rather uninspired. Perhaps it was the writing (a bit lackluster), or maybe the characters (sort of one-note), or the parallel universe plot (a tad sci-fi).
On the other hand, the book had held her interest. There are many many (and might we add MANY) worse books out there. And it made her wonder... How would she respond if Christ were to appear today?
As the woman finished the book, she pondered her options: pan it? praise it? pass it on?
Well, dear disciples of literature, what would you do?
