That's the only kind of whinging he does. But these are well known Xtian scholars that he has to fight with.

Quote:Albert Cook Outler is generally considered to be one of the most important John Wesley scholars in the history of the Church as well as the first real United Methodist theologian. He was also a key figure in the 20th century ecumenical movement.
Outler was born and raised in Georgia and was an ordained Methodist Elder who served as pastor in several appointments. He received his Ph.D. degree from Yale University, teaching at both Yale and Duke University before beginning a long tenure at Southern Methodist University in Texas. He served on the Faith & Order board of the World Council of Churches and was an official observer at the Second Vatican Council.
Quote:Dr. Philip Jenkins and I were both speaking at the Global Summit, a discussion related to forming a "global eldering community" for The Foursquare Church, a Pentecostal denomination with a large global constituency. Jenkins was, at the time I interviewed him, Professor at Penn State. Now, he is at Baylor University.
Dr. Jenkins has written a number of seminal works when it comes to matters of Christian history, but also history in general. Two of his most well-known books are The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity (Future of Christianity Trilogy) and The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia—And How It Died.
