Let the Reader Understand is an excellent book on hermeneutics, albeit dense. We used it in a college Hermeneutics course at Covenant College. But we shouldn't underestimate our high schoolers. Let them rise to the challenge.
Interesting observation. There are other "theological" aspects of the book worth considering too, though. Ender hates the fact that he's being forced to rely only on himself; by no means does he see his loneliness as a good or healthy thing. And ultimately, when free from arbitrary circumstances (though such don't excuse his actions) he seeks reconciliation rather than destruction by preserving a remnant of the dying alien race. It's a dense book that raises a lot of questions worth asking.

So is there any news on if this proposal made it past synod? Is this established for next year?
