As you may know, I am trying to make a career out of church history and historical theology.

Many people are indifferent to the history of the church, and a distressing number of Christians have absorbed the great chronological arrogance of our age. Who follow the assumption that the past is nothing but a great expanse of ignorance and prejudice.

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
