A special thanks also to the following people, who shared their information and insights with me as I strove to understand what was happening in this movie: my son, Tom Roesler; my students, Elliott K., Jack K., Kara H., Wesley N., and Michael S.; my colleague, Michael Witherspoon; and Pastor George Granberry, Heartland Community Church, Wichita, KS. I greatly appreciate the comments and insights of each of them, but any misperceptions of Scripture that may appear are solely my own.
