I’m non dénominationel Christian and id be interested by any kind of christianity inspired works, be they catholic or protestant or whatever.

Same for all religions: buddhism, islam, anything religious.

If not religious but spiritual and exceptionnal like PKD’s gnosticism, Im also curious. Not only for the gnosticism, but the whole doubting if some things experienced during psychosis are not all batshit-land, so I’ve also put Jung in my to read list, but let’s keep it sci-fi.

    Yes, this is something most people dont undertand when they see the TV series. There was much more propaganda in the original stories. In the Eye of Appolo, a woman is tricked into removing her glasses by an evil new age man, and i therefore found dead in an elevator shaft. She fell down. And the new age con man of course has ulterior motives. So because she was blind to God in a way, she ended up dead. Of course, if you are very Christian, this would seem true to you. But for most other people, it would indeed be very annoying. They have stripped the TV series completely of this propaganda subtext. But Father Brown is historically a very very important character.
