I write in response to Kris Diehl’s letter in your April 21 issue. He raises a good point. He’s right that my essays reveal the limits of my knowledge: Judeo-Christian, Classical Greek. But he’s mistaken if he supposes that my purpose in writing them is to promote Christianity.

However, I have given him that impression, and this has caused him discomfort. I apologize for this, and I will try to be more careful when composing future essays.
