Part 2, Chapter 16 Summary

Twenty-four hours before his next meeting with Corelli, David still hasn't written a word. After sifting through his pile of notes on the Bible, he sits down at his typewriter and begins "to squeeze my brain to see what would come out" (307).

Part 2, Chapter 17 Summary

After reading David's 10 pages, Corelli pronounces them "strange, but interesting" (308). He is particularly intrigued by David's decision to use a warrior messiah rather than a peaceful one. David replies that the decision is rooted in human biology. After the meeting, David says in narration, "I was sure that I'd told him exactly what he wanted to hear. […] I told myself that anything that bought me time in which to discover what I had got myself into was worth a try" (312).

Part 2, Chapter 18 Summary
