The title refers to a transformative journey, starting with the figure of Boniface, a Christian missionary in the early Middle Ages, who faced significant challenges in spreading his faith. This historical reference sets the tone for the exploration of persecution, leading the narrative into modern times where the protagonist becomes embroiled in criminal activities as a response to societal injustices. White uses this character's evolution from a victim of persecution to a bank burglar to illustrate the lengths to which individuals may go when pushed to the margins of society.Throughout the book, White delves into the moral and ethical dilemmas that arise from persecution and the struggles for identity and justice. He critiques societal norms and the consequences of prejudice, emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding in a world where individuals often face discrimination for their beliefs or backgrounds.
