Praise for the 1st edition. “Christian historian Mark Knoll caused a stir
thirty years ago when he wrote, "The scandal of the evangelical mind
is that there is no evangelical mind"—suggesting that evangelicals
refuse to engage with history, literature, and scholarship. Given this,
it's thrilling to read a book written from an evangelical perspective
that cites Jerome, Plutarch, Sophocles, and Dante—authors many
people have not heard of, let alone read. One doesn't have to agree
with McFall's conclusions to admire the book's literary scope and
intellectual ambition. He's keeping the flame of the humanities alive,
and that alone makes the book worth reading.”
