Three Days Late
and a Dollar Short

THE BOOK AGAINST GOD
By James Wood.
257 pp. New York:
Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $24. 

This is a book that attempts to recreate the myth of Saint Peter.

See the New York Times review of this book from today, July 2, 2003, three days late.  The Feast of St. Peter was on June 29.

The price, $24, also falls short of the theological glory reflected in the number 25, the common denominator of Christmas (12/25) and AntiChristmas (6/25), as well as the number of the heart of the Catholic church, the Bingo card

For all these issues, see my entries and links in memory of St. Peter, from June 29

The real “book against God,” a novel by Robert Stone, is cited there.  The legend of St. Peter is best described by Stone, not Wood.
