Biblical Christianity is essentially a very simple thing. God incarnate gave his life for our sins so that if we believe in Him we will have eternal life. Most would agree that this is very basic in nature. The real life that precedes and follows this decision seems to be the interesting part that is shrouded in much confusion in today's world. Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 actually manages to offer a lot of simple clarity about what this Christian life essentially consists of through Guy Montag's life as a fireman, his quest for knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge towards him, and his definitive escape to freedom. The idea seems far-fetched at first, but it starts with the beginning of the book. Guy is walking alone thinking of absolutely nothing when, for no reason other than pure coincidence, he meets Clarisse McClellan. Clarisse immediately reveals to him that something is wrong with his soul, that there is something else. She begins to make his brain spin and think for the first time with statements like, “Laugh when I wasn't funny and respond right away. You never stop to think about what I asked you (8).” Guy doesn't realize it immediately, but the ball has started rolling and the books will begin to embody this valuable knowledge he needs. This is very similar to the biblical teaching of Jesus revealing himself to people and they subsequently realizing that there is more to this life than the daily struggles behind the wind. Knowledge began his pursuit of Guy just as Jesus begins his pursuit of people. This research highlights the emptiness of Guy's life that he was previously unaware of. The unquenchable flame of fire takes him nowhere, and knowledge offers him a new life of lasting value. The... center of the card... was before. It is this commitment as a firefighter, the pursuit of knowledge symbolized by Clarisse, and the symbolism of Jesus in the existence of books that alludes to the early stages of a Christian life. People are lost in the world until Jesus comes after them and they are initially enlightened about the scope of eternity. The subsequent escape, the death of the civilian, the crossing of the river and the enchantment with nature demonstrate the escape from the sin-filled world, the death to the old self, the baptism and enlightenment that a Christian goes through. Bradbury offers a very in-depth look at the Christian life with myriad other symbolisms such as the hardening of hearts, community, and the end times according to the Bible. Bradbury shows his brilliance in this novel and, whether by choice or accident, describes Guy as the prototypical biblical hero from page one to page one.. 165.
