Glad to hear it. Long ago (1967) I wrote my MA thesis on Johnson's literary criticism, and I almost wrote a doctoral dissertation on the same subject in 1972.

I am a secular humanist now, but there are three Christians who remain heroes to me: Sam Johnson, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King, jr.
