Tell me the premise

>> No.15355257

>>15355239
A zealous son of a Calvinist minister, and his devoted follower, is forced into a misanthropic world view by their exclusionary religious teachings and he is eventually led to the belief that, in accordance with the Calvinistic teachings of predestination, he is one of the justified elect whom can never commit an act that would absolve him of salvation. Gil-Martin, implied to be the Devil, forces the son, Robert, to commit wicked acts - in the name of purifying the Church - by placing him into a state of eternal dependency which he cannot break free from.

More like thriller, but it gives you the spooks nearer the end of the book. I highly recommend you read it. It’ll develop you as a person.
