Key Notes
Even after affirming the sinner's guilt, Jiang still sees an unresolved paradox in the narrative form itself: why Francis comes to honor the contract at all remains obscure.
Jiang's working explanation is that Boniface's claim to hold the keys of heaven creates a real contract of church authority, which is why Francis must initially honor it.
Jiang says a society without the law of hospitality would lose the basis for contract and ordinary function.
Jiang says early writing in Egypt and Sumeria solved an economic problem by functioning as a contract for labor and payment.
Jiang says he will leave his school when the current contract expires in June.
