Sorry if it comes like I'm pushing this book, but I haven't seen many novelists produce a scholarly or even semi-scholarly work in a while. I thought I would share some lines for everyone with Jesus' first confrontation with the guy downstairs;
"I'm watching you, angel child!" he said. "I'm waiting to see what you mean to do. So go on: walk like a child, eat like a child, work like a child. But I'm watching, And I may not know the future, no, but I know this: your mother's a whore, your father's a liar, and the floors of your house are dirt. Your cause is lost, I know it's lost, it's lost every day and every hour, and you know it is. You think your little miracles will help these foolish people? I tell you, chaos rules. And I am its Prince." (p. 197)
