Click here for an excellent post by Bishop Alan Wilson about John Updike, who died yesterday. Included are the poem Seven Stanzas for Easter and the following quote from John McTavish:
"[Updike was] a Christian, but not a Christian novelist in the sense that his work forces an explicitly Christian message onto the reader. On the contrary, precisely because Updike is a Christian he believes the novelist should portray the human condition with unsparing honesty, expressing his "basic duty to God" in writing "the most truthful and fullest books" he can."
