Mr. Mjomba, the fictitious author of the "Thesis on Original Virtue" has a special knack for getting the reader to peer into the minds of Adam and Eve as they plot their rebellion. And he excels when he describes what went on in Judas’ head as he prepared to betray his Master. An African, he berates missionaries for inferring that his people indulge in ancestral spirit worship or "animism" when all they are doing is according their departed ancestors the respect that is due to them! And Mjomba takes those who engineer "excommunications" and things like that in the Catholic Church to task for putting personal vendettas before their practice of charity and the well-being of the "Mystical Body of Christ". But he also challenges the "separated brethren" to deny that, in relative importance, the bible comes second to the church which, when defined as the Mystical Body of Christ, is almost synonymous with the "Deliverer". For his part, Mr. Luguya allows the reader to peer into Mr. Mjomba's mind as the fictitious author dies and, an unrepentant sinner, prepares to join demons in "the pit". Inspired by the devil: Part I - The gospel According to Judas Iscariot is going to leave you a changed person.
