Explores questions first introduced in the author's book ""Given Time"" about the limits of the rational and responsible that one reaches in granting or accepting death, whether by sacrifice, murder, execution, or suicide. This work also uses the story of the flood in ""Genesis"" as an embarkation point for a consideration of divine sovereignty.
