It is difficult for a historian to be nostalgic. What past times were better than now?
The era before antibiotics when childbirth or minor cuts might lead to septicemia and death?
The 19th century, when the church was culturally powerful, but children worked in factories and swept chimneys?
The Great Depression?
Second World War?
Vietnam?
The task of the Christian is not to whine about the moment in which he or she lives, but to understand its problems, and respond appropriately to them.
