# Human Thinking Gate Worksheet — NAR Shelf *Fill in any or all. Leave blanks as-is — I'll only write back what you answer, into each note's own format (`READER_NOTE:` replacements for Counterfeit Kingdom; prose outside model-managed blocks for Boedy and Du Mez; prose under the gate heading for A New Apostolic Reformation?). Nothing you skip gets invented.* *The six questions are the same for every book. Answer in your own words — a sentence or two each is plenty.* --- ## A. Counterfeit Kingdom (Pivec & Geivett) — finished 2026-07-21, 61 highlights — best candidate to answer first **Contract prompts:** - What do I want to learn? - What do I want to be true? - What would change my mind? - What decision or project might this affect? **My Thinking:** 1. What surprised me? 2. What do I now believe? 3. What did this challenge or complicate? 4. What remains unclear? 5. Where do I disagree with the workflow's analysis? 6. What claim can I explain without using the author's phrasing? **Final synthesis fields:** - What changed in my thinking: - What I will do: **Metadata:** rating · claims I accept/reject/suspend · candidate actions to adopt as experiments --- ## B. A New Apostolic Reformation? (Geivett & Pivec) **Gate questions:** same six as above (Q6: "…without using the authors' phrasing"). **Contract fields (currently UNKNOWN):** Purpose · Depth · Existing knowledge · PARA target · Specific questions · DEIB/accessibility intent · External-research permission **Optional metadata:** purpose, desired depth, PARA target, date finished, rating, specific questions, DEIB intent, external-research permission/refusal --- ## C. The Seven Mountains Mandate (Boedy) — structural-partial; answers here are provisional until a full read **Gate questions:** same six (Q6: "…without using Boedy's phrasing"). **Contract fields (UNKNOWN):** Purpose · Requested depth · Reading status · PARA target · Existing knowledge · Specific questions · DEIB/accessibility intent · External-research permission --- ## D. Jesus and John Wayne (Du Mez) — structural-partial; same caveat **Gate questions:** same six (Q6: "…without using Du Mez's phrasing"). **Contract fields (UNKNOWN):** same eight as C. --- *Context you can steal from today's session if it matches your actual thinking (don't adopt it if it doesn't): the syntopical merge found that "alignment = submission" appears identically in Counterfeit Kingdom (loc 1414) and Taylor (RW-0015); that Geivett & Pivec's critique is theological-categorical where Taylor's is civic-bounded; and that the shelf's insider theology contains no politics while its political analyses contain no insider theology.*
