Christianity
The book is a tale embedded in the Christian faith. The book greatly condemns sin. Dúin’s father raped a woman. This act defiled the values of the Christian faith. He is killed by people who burn him inside a church. While at sea with his stepbrothers, he showcases his faith by professing that God will direct them through their journey. He offers assurance to his crew members in times of doubt.
On the island of Salmon, the group finds a feast in an empty house. They eat to their fill, giving thanks and appreciation to God. By the end of the journey, Dúin becomes fully converted into the Christian experience and chooses to forgive his father’s killers. The book also has numerical correlations that align with the Bible.
