(urth) Wolfe as Heretic

[Garry Geer]

There are elements of early gnosticism in the BOTNS, where one can never
truly reach the level of the Increate, but one can move upward through the
various levels (i.e. spiritual beings) to better understand the Increate but
never quite reaching Him. Think of it as a spiritual version of Zeno's
paradox as personified through pseudo-deities.

As a pastor I find Wolfe's work fascinating as it always operates in a moral
universe, but there never seems to be a clearly communicated ethic from the
Increate.
