We are often and truly told that history is written by the victors. When I see books written by the vanquished, I usually buy them. However, after 92 pages, I had to stop reading. I realize that mores and modes of expression change over time, but it is distressing to me that a clergyman could have had such (to me, at least) regrettable opinions and attitudes in any era. I don't want to be arrogant, but it is difficult for me to discern much Christianity in the Rev. Mr. Porter's outlook.
