What if…. You found a correspondence between an elderly Christian of the fifth century and a young Christian of the modern era? What would you find? Here is such a correspondence. We have but one side of the letters, that of the elderly Christian.. As you would expect, some of the letters from this ancient mind bring out ideas which are very strange to our modern way of thinking. (I cannot imagine my children allowing me to pick a wife or husband for them). But it is just this point of view which makes them interesting to me. So I had them translated, and now present them to you. John Hendershot Christmas, 2001 PS - for those of you who have the printed version of this, you will note that the translator's notes are not included. This is due to the way in which web pages are written; I could find no satisfactory way to put them in. |
