[Foucault-L] The 'Gaze' in Bunyan's 'Pilgram's Progress'


Hi All,
I know Michael personally, and i know that he has been reading lately John Bunyan's _Pilgram's Progress_ so i was going to send this message privately, but the following is such a great quote from that book that i thought i should share it with you all.

"...we have right thoughts of God, when we think that he knows us better than we know ourselves, and can see sin in us when and where we can see none in ourselves; when we think he knows our inmost thoughts, and that our heart, with all its depths is always upon unto his eyes; also when we think that all our righteousness stinks in his nostrils, and that therefore he cannot abide to see us stand before him in any confidence, even of all our best performances"
