Dear Decathletes:
Go to page 318 and read this passage, and what comes before and after (to understand the context of the passage):
"Long ago, when he had been famous among his earliest competitors as a youth of great promise, he had followed his father to the grave. His mother had died, years before. These solemn words, which had been read at his father's grave, arose in his mind as he went down the dark streets, among the heavy shadows, with the moon and the clouds sailing on high above him. "I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believith in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die."
Based on what we have read so far, and what I have pointed out in my previous entries, what is the significance of this passage in terms of understanding the story?

The way 'resurection' is mentioned throughout the novel is possibly referring to the revolution of France, as you pointed out. However, I cannot apply the end of the phrase to the story. "he whoever believeth in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life." -John 3:16...I understand the statement alone, but not how it relates to the story.
