ABSTRACT

A.E.Housman, Collected Poems (1939) 17 Creation-that is the great redemption from suffering, and life’s growing

light. But that the creator may be, suffering is needed and much change. Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra (1883)

18 The story of the creation and of original sin in Genesis is true. But other stories about the creation and original sin in other traditions are also true and also contain incomparably precious truths.
