The Purchase of a Soul

This Trinity Forum Reading features a tale of transformation from Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. Reissued with a new foreword by Natasha Duquette, “Purchase of a Soul” is a timeless—and challenging—parable of forgiveness.

Price range: $5.00 through $10.00

We are pleased to present this Trinity Forum Reading, a tale of transformation from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. Set in an era of division and distrust, "Purchase of a Soul" portrays the transformative power of mercy. This Reading features the hardened convict Jean Valjean, whose interaction with the forgiving Bishop of Digne results in his redemption. Valjean's story is considered one of the most powerful conversation accounts in literature, prompting us to ponder, "Who is my neighbor?" Reissued with a new foreword by Natasha Duquette, "Purchase of a Soul" is a timeless—and challenging—parable of forgiveness.
