Announcement of First Reading/Discussion of “Why?”

My plan is to begin discussing I Introduction (pp. 1-23) of “Why? On Suffering, Guilt and God” by A. Van de Beek on May 5. That day, God willing, I will post my thoughts about the Introduction. Then I will space out discussion of other portions of the book, increasing the “chunks” of reading (number of pages) a bit beyond 23 pages. I’ll announce the “chunks” to read at least a few days before I blog about them. Please don’t jump ahead and start commenting on the announced portions before I comment on them. So, for example, read I Introduction (pp. 1-23) as close to May 5 as possible and wait for my comments in a blog post. Then respond as you wish. Then wait for my next announcement of a day/date when I will comment in a blog post on another portion of the book. Let’s all stick together. If you are not going to read the book or for some reason do not read the portion assigned, please don’t comment on that section even if something someone else says sparks a thought. This is a kind of “book club” on this blog. We will take our time. Remember my hints about reading “Why?”
