Mr. Cornwell, I have not yet had the pleasure of reading your books because today is the first time I have heard mention of your name. I saw it on the website of George R. R. Martin, who is one of my favorite authors. You will probably not like the reason i’m writing so i’m going to get it over with! I’ve tried to find out as much as i can about the Authurian books that you’ve wrote because I love the subject. What I’ve been looking for is how Christians are depicted. The reason that I ask is because I’m a Christian, but would not consider myself a “fanatic”. I believe in a message of God’s love, and not that everyone will burn in hell or so on. There is alot about God that I don’t understand, but there’s alot that remains to be seen. I have my reasons in believeing the way I do, and I will never be judgemental of someone else feeling different about the issue. That being said, I understand that there are fanatics out there. Crazy people who shoot doctors in front of abortion clinics so I know that an image of this kind of Christian is being burned into the mindset of the American public. The only reason I mention all of this is because I want to read your books!! Are Christians in the books depicted soley as “evil” the way I have seen it done so many times? Were you writing the religious parts of the book written from personal experiences or pure history and the things going on at the time? I try to be as open-minded as I can and i don’t get angry or upset when the plot lines turn this way, but I just don’t think it would be interesting to me if it broke down my beliefs and threw them into a sop bucket. Do you feel like I’d be open-minded enough to read the books? I apologize for even asking you this, but I can’t seem to stop myself from doing it! Please keep in mind that I realize I’m an idiot for asking, but I would appreciate an honest answer. Robert Stevens
