So my novel ‘Jeremiah Stone’ is based on ‘The Book of Job’ from the Bible within the setting similar to the movie ‘Constantine’, though there are a few differences. I hope the following explain this, which is the Prelude within my book.
“Did Job not satisfy your curiosity?” God asked.
“The world is a different place now, with different motivations, thereby I propose a different test,” the Devil responded.
“And what shall it be this time?”
“Instead of taking away a man’s livelihood to affect his faith, I propose we affect a newborn soul. Each of us may give or take one thing from the soul and see which gift affects the soul the most.”
“And if the burdens we provide does not sway the soul’s intent?”
“Then we burden the soul with knowledge.”
Of course, as I’ve explained early in other blog entries, God gives the soul the power of belief so anything the soul believes it can do, it can do. The Devil takes away the souls morals, so it knows right from wrong but is not compelled to follow either. And of course the soul affected is Jeremiah Stone. As far as the knowledge they impart is the reality of the real world in which both demons and angels exist with human hosts, which happens both times Jeremiah dies and is debated upon in purgatory.
Hope this provides a bit of insight into the book.
