"I adhere to the broad outlines of the Christian faith as it has come down through the Anglican tradition," he writes in his book. Meacham cited the Roman writer Symmachus, arguing against Christians who wanted to remove an altar to the pagan deity Victory, saying, "We cannot attain to so great a mystery by one way: I agree." "It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god," Thomas Jefferson remarked. In his new book "Hope of Glory: Reflections on the Last Words of Jesus from the Cross", Jon Meacham, a renowned Episcopal layman and scholar of American history writes "I am in no sense an evangelical, for I do not share the view that faith in Jesus is the only route to salvation, nor am I determined to convert others to my point of view. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Episcopalian denies basic Christian tenet I have been keen to read the original version of the Oompa-Loompa chapters, but have been reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars on a pre-1970s copy of the first Charlie story.Jon Meacham says Jesus is not the only route to salvation Annotated editions of the Dahl children’s books might have been the best place to do so, particularly in the case of the Charlie stories, as there are differences between editions and print runs. This would allow people to know how the book and illustrations felt like back in the day. I am wondering if there can be a special collection of all the alternative illustrations that were done for the Dahl books that didn’t originally have Quentin Blake illustrations. I wonder to what extent the re-illustrated versions constitute disrespect to the original first editions, as Blake’s illustrations for Dahl’s five Unwin titles (plus Danny and Minpins) were all done posthumously. Although I think Dahl might have loved them, on the other hand he might have wanted each book to have a particular feel, and he might have been against the standardising of illustrations that his literary estate commissioned. Although I love all the Blake re-illustrations of the Dahl books he wrote before their collaboration, I wonder what Dahl would have thought of the post-1990 Blake illustrations if he had lived to see them.
