“…many of the people who ask me about these Christian leaders and thinkers want to know if the revelations about their personal means we should throw away their ideas and contributions. My cold and controversial answer is ‘no.’” - Roger Olson

NewI basically agree with Olson
Once you get past the Metaxas type of church history, you realize there is no point in trying to lionize Christians in the past. Many of them are deeply flawed. It’s just the reality.
Still, if someone’s entire life repudiates their profession, I’m unlikely to read them. It’s a personal decision we all will make differently.
