This is my first time reading something for Religion 201 (I don’t really have to read it now, but there you go). So far I’m glad I’m reading it before the class starts: it’s like ancient philosophy in that it’s simple concepts and simple language but if you miss even one step then you don’t understand jack shit. I suspect he’s going to build to something big and complex (I hope he is, anyway!) but I haven’t got far enough in to tell yet.
