| Abstract: | This novel-in-progress probes the connection between faith and guilt within a religious context, exploring the role that the latter has in shaping and inspiring the former. From this foundation, it investigates popular belief and the tenuous relationship between organized theology and popular belief, which derives less from dogma and more from personal experience and folk tradition. These more abstract concepts come together in the religious struggle of Pastor Mike Williams, who, in light of his father's death, begins to revisit and wrestle with the guilt that inspired him to faith through the lens of folk story and historical inquiry. |
