God is kind of a jerk a lot in the OT - my best understanding is that life was very very very hard for most people and making up a story about someone they could blame it on made the most sense.

I (thankfully) never read this book, which I think I probably would have hated at any age. Madeline L'Engle has been hard for me to go back and re-read as an adult too - a lot of her tensions and resolutions don't sit well with me, though maybe part of how I got to where I am now is some kind of subconscious processing of the ideas she presented?
