About the Author

Anon, Amos is…

In letters, an amateur; in academia as in life, a contented bachelor; in ecclesiastics, a waiter of tables; in wisdom, attained unto foolishness; in the world, a fool; in Heaven, an heir. A devotee only of God and of saying that which is worth being said.

There is nothing here to attract the gaze of the passing reader, nor the admiration of the aspirant or the seeker. That, if you have yet to realize it, is the point. Let the work stand or fall. Its value is in itself. The author seeks neither to add nor subtract to it by attaching his own name thereunto. Nor is it safe for a man for his name to be known by many. Not so much unsafe from the many, as unsafe from himself.

“Who is the reader?” “Who are you?” That is the question worth asking.

Writing these works has been both fruit and means of the author’s own life-long process of answering that question for himself. Perhaps reading them will be some measure of help for the reader in the task of answering it for him/herself.
