I
had a spare copy of 'Three Men' knocking about, so I posted on the UK Methodists
group on Facebook and asked whether anyone would like a free book in exchange
for writing a review. Someone called
Andrew Davidson responded, and I posted the book last Saturday.
I
stand in awe of our marvellous postal service, for by Tuesday evening, it had
not only arrived (and it only went 2nd class) but Mr. Davidson had
already read the book, and posted his review on the Facebook group.
Now,
I know that it’s terribly bad form to quote one’s own reviews… So here goes:
Book Review - "Three
Men on a Pilgrimage - a Comical Progress" by Thomas Jones.
If you are looking for a
book that tackles some of the issues within the bible this is an ideal choice.
It is philosophically challenging, tackling theological conundrums in an
imaginative and humorous way, but with a serious outlook. A book that is hard
to put down, but once read calls to be picked up again and again. Each chapter
takes a theological concern and opens a door leading to thought and discussion.
Possibly an interesting one to follow in a bible study group.
It is the story of three
men who, realising they possess nearly all the deadly sins, decide to go on a walking
pilgrimage to Canterbury to redeem themselves. Along the way they encounter
many strange incidents and people who give them food for thought. Reflects
one's own life and thoughts.
