Set in a time of changing thoughts about religion, Hodder deals with personal and social issues while struggling with his own beliefs. As he talks with the bishop and interacts with people like Eldon Parr, who has a complicated relationship with money and ethics, Hodder's new ideas about faith cause conflict.
