This seems to be a polarising book. Like with any book that touches on religion, it'll provoke strong reactions. I enjoyed it, and I got more out of it on a second reading. Knuth touches on a number of interesting subjects that you can enjoy irrespective of your system of beliefs. From random sampling, to language translation, to finiteness/infinity, it's an enlightening read.

Knuth is not a militant christian. You will see his personal convictions expressed once in a while, but it doesn't feel like he's trying to push them on his readers.

I'm glad I re-read this book, and I'll mark it for another re-read in 5 year's time or so.
