Neil Foster is 33-year-old minor league baseball umpire who is comparing what he was taught as a child in the Lutheran Church with what he has learned as an adult, such as how to rationalize dating 18-year-old Sara Miles, who is still in high school, because they both appear to be, more or less, in their mid-20's.Jesus Christ reprises the role made popular in the New Testament and visits, with the two discussing a variety of aspects of the human experience with particular emphasis on Neil's interpretations of the Sixth Commandment's dictates on sexual purity.Satan also appears, as both a golfer and an attorney, as does Neil's old friend Brad Wyler, now one of the planet's biggest rock stars, and Major Howard K. Opdahl, like Neil a former Marine, who was blinded during his service and has his own insights into the goddamned human experience.Taking place everywhere from small town USA to gracious suites and dive diners in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve to Dodger Stadium, Swords In The Narthex is a funny, thoughtful look at the human experience.
