Post #2 and #4 capture my attitude on FS. However, there will always be a great fondness in my heart for him and for his impact. I was a teenager when his books began to tumble out into the evangelical world in the late 60s. Escape from Reason was used mightily in my life to help me see the need for having a Christian worldview. It was instrumental in my attending an evangelical Christian college to "learn more" about how our faith can stand up against the assaults of this world.
Regardless of his faults, I will also remember him with fondness for his willingness to engage the culture on its own terms, for his contention that Christianity is a reasonable coherent and consistent faith, and for his quixotic tilting at windmills for a heavenly cause.
