Hi Julie,

I’ve been a fan of this book for a long time and it still inspires me in understanding my own faith.

I’m not sure who said it first but I believe that Sunday doesnt represent God, but the backside of God… through Jesus we see the mercy of God and humanity of God, the face of God. Sunday is not that .. but the soveriegn side.. the powerful side… the backside of God. When Moses wanted to see God … he was told he can only see the backside of God and that if he was hid in a cave of a mountain it would protect him from the power of God.

the terrible side of God.. that allows suffering but ultimately rules over it.

…when Gabe first saw him , he saw him from behind and i thought he was a monster but when he saw his face he knew there could be no evil in him.

I'm re-reading the story now for the first time in several years. It's as good as I remembered. I have my own theory about it, but I don't think GKC was being totally honest when he spoke about the book in his autobiography. I think Sunday did indeed represent God, but in an uncertain world where God may not be what we think he is. "What if this is the way God really is?", was the nightmarish aspect of it. What if, when all is said and done, and the world finished, we find a God and an afterlife that's nothing like what anyone expects? Is anything really real? Does everything exist in the mind of a God who is more mischevous than anything else? Hi Julie,
