Orson Scott Card's front-page column in the Deseret Morning News (Dec. 7) gets my plaudits. He correctly identifies Plato's influence on the Christian concept of God. I am a teacher of Christian history on the college level and found his description insightful. He is right in suggesting that the Christian concept of God, as defined in the historic creeds and as traditionally taught, was influenced as much by platonic idealism as by biblical literalism.
