*I could be wrong, it's been 20 years since I read them (and one would hope) my eyes have changed in the meantime. I'm sure there are a few exceptions, but I doubt Goodkind's books are one of them. Hearts find what they are looking for (or at least pieces of it), pretty much anywhere they look, whether it's for Christ or for Mord-Sith. It probably doesn't matter too much where exactly the perspective of his writing was coming from it wasn't something I would recognize as a Christian perspective but I don't think he was spending time deliberately attacking it either, mostly just writing an enjoyable novel with the motive of selling books.* I still remember a scene in a cave where the crawlspace was getting smaller and smaller and it felt like I was having trouble breathing even just reading it. As for what Goodkind's intent was, I think he was a good author.

Someone else could read the book from a perspective of anti-faith and find in it confirmations for their world view.
#TERRY GOODKIND SWORD OF TRUTH FUL SERIES SERIES#
You are reading the series from a perspective of faith and finding in it confirmations and identifications with some of the struggles of the characters. As a Christian, I'm not a fan of lies, whether from outside the Christian community, or most especially from within it. not one that prevents me (personally) from being a Christian. It kind of depends of where you are coming from and it's more or less a purely true statement about human nature no matter what you apply it to definitely one to be aware of. One could apply that to religious thinking many people who are not a part of organized religion, feel that organized religion exploits this. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true." "People are stupid given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. I do love "the Wizard's First Rule" though, the basis of magic in the series and it stuck with me forever after

Wasn't looking for biblical allegory, alignment or dis-alignment at the time though and wasn't really a Christian, just looking for a good read. hmmm maybe early 2000's? (1st and 2nd, I think I was getting tired of them by 3rd or 4th and may not have finished 3rd). I thankyou in God for your responses ahead of time and hope for His blessings upon you.Ĭlick to expand.uh. Or was he like me and many others disillusioned by religion and the many wolves in sheeps clothing that hide amongst the religious set to mislead us? Id like to ask, is it true what some seem to claim? Are the books a forsaking of all religion? Was Terry Goodkinds primary goal to relieve us of religion? Now I apologize for the lengthy post, but as I continue reading discouraged by many in my faith to forget the series since it seems to have such a bad reputation. Richard himself is beset by many of the issues found within the Christian walk and struggle with belief and its its something personally I identify with. Similar to Jesus's emphasis upon forgiving those around us showing them love turning the other cheek. Now that Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Mast Cell Disease and Mastocytosis are coming to light and gaining actual diagnosis and even some in my church are being diagnosed with them I have been acquitted in a manor whilst none have actually admitted fault or apologized for abusing and berating me for my illness as it was unknown at the time.Īnyway as it says in the books forgiveness is a most powerful magic especially forgiveness to those whove harmed your or those who wont admit. You see I have a rare disease that's only now coming into common knowledge and many within my faith firmly believed that I must have a secret sin that caused God to abandon or allow so much pain to come into my life and I ended up being kicked out by many churches and Christian councillors because they became frustrated with my refusal to admit to some dark sins within my life that must have lead to my illness. The painful torture of Richard by the mord sith getting worse as he resisted and remained true was similar to my own story in the struggle of faith and conviction. I've only just begun the book series myself and delved into the second book The Stone of Tears, and found that it somewhat expands upon the bible, how the sisters of the light have an unflinching devotion to the creator to the extent that they themselves are easily manipulated.

I myself came into the TV series in College it was all the rage among my friends at the Christian college and many noticed my resemblance to the main character and the fact that my name is also Richard. Ive noticed a number of reviews and posts on the Sword of Truth series have indicated that the main point of his entire series is to pull us away from the illusion of Religion and better our lives by removing a false belief system and dependency on God.
