Succubus Wrote:How will you reach the ~1/1000 Christians who can read Latin?I thought Orthodox Christians were quite likely to know some Latin. And the proportion of the Christians on the Internet who know some Latin is greater than the proportion of Christians in real life who know Latin. Less educated Christians are less likely to argue for their belief on-line.
Regardless, it's not aimed just at Christians who can read Latin, it's aimed at those who say you are not qualified to talk about theology if you can't read the famous theological works in their original language. And those Christians are way more numerous, don't you think?
