Re: Back to Greek
I am all too happy to second Kenneth Litwak's call to return to Greek. I
guess the final irony (!) has to be that his message decrying our
sidetrips and labeled "Back to Greek" actually contained what may be the
longest sidetrip message to date! :-)
But just one final word if I may (short, I promise). I was not aware
that I or anyone else was "condemning Fundamentalists" or anyone else.
The "irony" thread was based on an historical observation that the very
presuppositions admitted and touted by Fundamentalist writers were often
those that originated (in the contemporary period, anyway) in the very
modernist and liberal camps which fundamentalism arose in reaction
against (horrid grammar I realize, but I never have mastered that
preposition-at-the-end-of-a-sentence thing). Whether one is a "Fundie"
or not, this fact is established by the written record, and does
constitute, in the best and least polemical sense of the word, irony.
'Nuff said. Back to Greek!!!!
