  • Comment: I prefer the first hook - playing off the Aristotle's use of an acorn as an example of entelechy and Bleeker's introduction of entelecheia to religious studies. The acorn example of entelechy (and Bleeker's drawing on Aristotle) is explicitly discussed in the Cox source, which also gives a detailed overview of the concept.

• Article is new enough and long enough; earwig shows no copyvio concerns. QPQ is done. How precisely Bleeker connects to Aristotle's acorn theory could be made clearer in the text, though its not a substantial enough issue to fail the hook here. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 22:58, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
