Wolfe Getting More Christian?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

While I haven't read the newer books you speak of, I've often felt like
Wolfe's religious elements or ideas that appear in his work are head and
shoulders above those of his peers.

As an entirely non-religious person, I've very rarely found an author that
can tackle these things without it feeling totally out of place or obvious
(like the aforementioned Chronicles of Narnia), but Wolfe does this very
well.
