As am I, a bit, Miss Jennie. ... Thus, I turn to video games now to help my boredom.

I'm sleepy, but don't wanna sleep yet.

I really like his style of writing. And I like all the plots too!

I'll keep my eyes open for his books.

That's the important thing, to enjoy what we're doing. I bet you weren't horrible!



lol Yes, that could be.


Thanks! I like paintings, and art type of avatars, and this one resembles me the most...when I wear glasses.

Indeed, but I wanted to be really good, and I still can't even draw a line or a circle, and my proportions? Yikes.

WOMM is stress, and its cumulative effects after a while.

Yikes. Stress is the devil.

OMM: I am starting to think Alistir McGrath dislikes protestants or perhaps he's just wishy washy. One moment it sounds like he is condemning the reformation and the next like he's praising a particular person who was key in it. I think perhaps it is time to find an author who is at least consistent.

Is the guy a historian? It's very typical approach for historians, to condemn some movement and at the same time praise some elements or personalities in it.

It's okay, you can think it's boring if you like.

The book is actually on Historical Theology so it's possible that he is a historian. I need to look him up.

 

[Travelers.Soul]

It turns out that Alister McGrath is actually a professor of Historical Theology at Oxford University. He is also a theologian and has written several books.

No, I love history a lot. I just think the inconsistency is weird.

Ha, there it is! My diagnosis without seeing the patient is that his capability to make any kind of consistent statements has likely been annihilated by The Evil Historian Mindset which tries to avoid making consistent statements.

It does seem to be an oddity or at least I thought so. It's nice when an author is consistent.

A historian should be consistent if nothing else, it's a shame he isn't. Obviously you were right.

Mmmh, historians are supposed to try to understand everyone involved, not really to have an opinion of their own. They try to tell all sides of the story at once, which of course makes them sound rather schizophrenic for a reader who is expecting a statement.

It'd be great if he'd just state the facts and leave it at that. If he did that, I think it would be a little less confusing.

Maybe he is just evil and likes to confuse readers?

Honestly, I haven't read the guy so I don't know anything about his writings. The description just sounded like a historian talking so I rushed in to the convo.

Yeah, let's just go with the evil bit.

not really.

all Historians have different views on how things happen.

So for example the industrial revolution in Britain many have different views on how it happen, what caused it and why it happened.

As a History BA student, we are even told not to take the sole word of our lectures as that's his point of view.


We suppose to read read read and more reading and the look at the evidence and then concluded what we think the evidence shows



Am doing a 2,500 word essay on how the separate spheres impacted on women's life in the nineteenth century .... So as you can imagine people have different views on this....
