Peter and Theocoid: Smithsonian just let me know that my letter will appear in the June edition. Thanks for making me do it. I was swamped and wouldn’t have done it otherwise.

With all the noisy ignorance out there disguised as objectively credible academia, I’d say that we now live in a “dark age” of sorts.

I let my subscription lapse last year. The journal has deteriorated to the point that it is unreadable. You have more intestinal fortitude than I have. I could never have made it to the end of the article.

I too let my Smithsonian subscription lapse, with no regrets. Typically they have great photography, but the writing is generally atrocious. My subscription covered last year, the Anno DaVinci, so to speak. Barf.

I do hope you’ll be sending a letter to the editor.

I’m disappointed to find that I made the correct decision in not renewing my subscription. Smithsonian has potential to be a fine magazine, but they don’t seem to have the editorial oversight or discipline to ensure that the content of their articles are up to par. I’ve found this is not limited to articles that do (or should) touch upon Christianity. It seems to bleed into other areas as well, which is really too bad. Again, the potential is there.

How very sad. It’s unfortunate that this type of revisionist history has become so widespread. One should hope “true” historians will take up the opportunity to correct this oversight (yes, I’m being nice). The only question is, would Smithsonian publish it?
