The old stuff that has stood the test of time is superior to the majority of what has been written. Some of the writing of today will be held closely by people 150 years from now but most of it will fill landfills, just like in days gone by. On another note. I find it amusing to here cry Sola Scriptura and justify it by quoting their favorite dead guy who wrote none of the scriptures. This is a variation of a common Dan Eden post. A little more humility would lead to a lot more godliness. The old stuff is no better than the new. The old stuff that has stood the test of time is superior to the majority of what has been written.

I wrote about some <a href="http://csaproductions.com/blog/?p=338" rel="nofollow">similar stuff</a>, focusing more on church leaders and Bible characters, but the same thoughts apply to the guys "in between". ;-) For those who don't follow the link to read my own ramblings at length, let me second a thought that Philippa touched on. By "over-honoring" these men, we are in grave danger of idolatry. Dan, great post (as usual).
