“A world, and a church, which is hooked on novelty like some cultural equivalent of crack cocaine needs the cold, cynical eye of the historian to stand as a prophetic witness against it. And make no mistake, when it comes to my approach to trendy evangelical claims to epoch-making insights, beneath the cold, cynical exterior of this particular historian beats a heart of stone.”
-Carl Trueman, Minority Report (Scotland: Christian Focus, 2008), p. 26
this quote is so...how do you say...for me personally...just...devastatingly refreshing. ahhhhh.

Great quote. Something about Historians I just love - they rarely have some motivation outside of telling it how it is... no corrupting incentives.
