The qgony of self-re vulsion revealed in th is work and th e scintillating style of th e w ritte r make it a peculiarly fascinating book to even th e most ir religious. And to those who have faith in religion, the story of P ap ain i’s con version and th e proofs he offers of th e divinity of Christ form an im portant contribution to the field of hagiology.
