Someone who's name is behind a 5 volume set with titles "A Christian view of...." or who wrote "A Christian Manifesto" I would expect should explore at least a cursory examination of Christian history. A foremost apologist for the modern Christian west, yet never spoke of the Christian east or even acknowledged that issues in the modern day church have historical precedent. > heck he even maligns > his mother regarding menstrual blood without any evidence that she did > anything but read the bible to him. His personal experience is probably the best evidence we'll be able to get. Perhaps he held back certain details. You might also want to consider reading his book "Portofino" which appears to be at least partially biographical and describes some typical evangelical interactions between mother and son, and father and son, and sisters and son. > I admit to seeing a fair amount of ignorance about the history of > Christianity but to be fair my interest in it and evolving knowledge > of it can be attributed to reading Francis Shaeffer's works.
