A couple of weeks ago, my friend and fellow blogger Rodalena asked me if I would be interested in taking part in a blogging meme concerning the writing process.

The Omnimalevolent Creator and the Problem of Good
John Zande's post is a brilliant work of satire that shows the problems of trying to match the state of our universe to the existence of an omni-benevolent god. Definitely worth a read.

Dating of documents was also not undertaken. Using a range of textual clues, scholars have developed approximate dates for the books. While timelines can be found from a number of sources, I had trouble finding any that were annotated with other significant events of the period.
