This episode originally recorded as a video 5th April 2024 as a Parton only post. I am happy now to make it publicly available.

Welcome to another bonus episode where I react to my recent reading and discussing a Philosophical or literary works from a Christian perspective. Today, we'll be exploring "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham, a novel that considers questions of faith, meaning, and the pursuit of truth.

I critically examine the themes of spiritual awakening, moral dilemmas, and the search for purpose in life, whislt at the same time revealing what I believe are it false flags and it occult influences.

Set against the backdrop of post-World War I society, "The Razor's Edge" follows the journey of its protagonist, Larry Darrell, as he embarks on a quest for enlightenment that leads him to distant lands and unexpected encounters.

Through the lens of Christian theology and philosophy, we'll analyse the characters' decisions, their struggles with doubt and temptation, and his ultimate attempt to find redemption. Does true freedom and salvation lie with the rejection of societal norms and how does the advise revelled in this modern parable line up against timeless biblical truths and teachings.

Join us as I try and unravel the layers of "The Razor's Edge" and uncover the real but dangerous spiritual advise it offers. Whether you're a literature enthusiast, a seeker of truth, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and fiction, this episode promises to be an enlightening journey of discovery, it certainly was for me anyway.
