I've also had someone tell me about a seminarian suicide – there's something too real about that (seminary can be a dark place from what I've heard). Do you remember exactly what the key differences between Protestant and Orthodox theology were, or does the author not go into too much detail? I have some idea of those differences, but it'd be interesting to see how mainstream fiction portrays them.
It’s been a bit, so I may be recalling falsely, but I think the sticking point was transubstantiation. That makes sense in the context of the novel. Everyone changes from appearance to reality. If you think Night of Fire is a book you’d like to read, I’d enjoy discussing it. I believe it deserves a wider audience.
