	This pair of sisters has traditionally been identified with Martha and Mary of Bethany in John's gospel. The identification seems reasonable to me on the basis of the dialogue between Martha and Jesus in the two gospels--it sounds to me like the same woman speaking in both cases.

	''Divine'': You don't have to be an apostle to preach Jesus. ~~Anti~~-clerical but not anti-apostolic. He sent Mary to the apostles because they were central to His plans. You don't have to be an apostle to love Jesus. Mary is not deprived in any way by not being an apostle. She is not diminished. I like that the novel begins with the protagonist preaching abstinence. I like the fact that she preaches Jesus as true God and true man. Catholic propositions. I like the fact that she has celibate evangelists. The woman and the man love each other very much, but do not marry. They put Jesus first. I don't like the pastor hugging her. ~~Seemed~~ romantic, not innocent.
			Reflections on the novel, ''Divine'':

			:: '''You don't have to be an apostle to preach Jesus.''' The story may be anti-clerical but not it is not anti-apostolic. He sent Mary to the apostles because ''they'' were central to His plans.

			:: '''You don't have to be an apostle to love Jesus'''. Mary is not deprived in any way by not being an apostle. She is not diminished.

			:: I like the fact that the novel begins with the protagonist preaching abstinence. I like the fact that she preaches Jesus as true God and true man. These are Catholic propositions. I like the fact that she has celibate evangelists.

			:: The woman and the man love each other very much, but do not marry. They put Jesus first.

			:: I don't like the pastor hugging her the way he did. It seemed romantic and erotic to me, not innocent.
