On a side note but on the topic of Christianity, I'm kind of amazed at just how bad the general menu of thinking is when you compare what popularly gets passed around and what you have to do digging for.
I was checking in on Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas, hearing a lot of things coming from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's thinking about God, the nature of faith and salvation, pagan culture/antiquity and its relationship, and was amazed to hear nothing like I'd hear in the US, I mean Christianity with real circumspect.
Not sure whether this guy is of more importance or similar importance but the way he seems to address the issues as well fascinates me:
