"...The Amazon review is shockingly inaccurate. "Pilot" sentenced Jesus to death! The twentieth century artist doesn't travel to Germany to piece together the story of the painting, but to find out the story of the original artist. Barrett was a Catholic, perhaps, and his hero claimed to be Agnostic. But it isn't "secularism" that the reviewer means, but "sectarianism", or more appropriately religious propaganda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
