About the Book

Another View is a study of revelation in which a fictional setting is used to explore revealed religion and its background. The fictional setting provides a narrative structure to what is otherwise a journey from the infinite past to the current situation as regards revelation in history and in philosophical/theological conceptual development. This book is not an exercise of exegesis but a source material is never treated lightly. Only the fictional setting has a patina of entertainment and some grounding in the world of solids. To wit, there are no footnotes—scholarship is not intrusive, but it does build the book.


About the Author

Nicholas Snoek lived in Holland from 1940 to 1952, then in British Columbia, Canada, till 1979, and since then in Ontario, Canada. He took a year of theology in 1959. He graduated with honors in English from UBC in 1963. Then he taught first-year English and philosophy. He was offered a working philosophy of psychology professorship in 1968 but settled for a teaching certificate—big mistake. His strong interest: the revelationary un-derlay to comparative religion.
