I sort of thought about history at one point, but it was quite clear to me, I think, that theology was the answer. I was very interested in it. As I said, I was just very, very interested in it. By the time I was 15, I had begun the conversion experience that I then went through for the next five years to Catholicism, which culminated in me converting when I was at Oxford.

The whore of Babylon, no. That is, some evangelicals would say that. But it, yes, of course, I mean, it was, I was brought up in a home where I think it was viewed with suspicion at best. Although, to give my parents credit where it was due, they had always basically said that it was a personal relationship with Jesus which mattered more than anything else.

And so, my dad has frequent examples of Catholics he had spoken to who he definitely knew, had personal relationships with Jesus, but generally speaking, the Catholic Church was perceived of as nominal, like nominalism, where people just went, they didn't really understand where they went, and filled with superstition was the two phrases that were kind of stuck out.

Well, for the corruption of the Catholic Church, and we started with him for sure, but the persecution actually, I should say, but basically, you know, smells and bells was a phrase that frequently stuck around in my head from when I was growing up because that was how the Catholic Church was perceived. For me, in part, there was kind of a numbers component to it.

And this is just something which I think is how my brain works. But I didn't really understand how we could be saying that before 1517, We just had this big kind of black hole of Christianity from the time of the apostles until Luther crops up. And so for me, that was like, okay, well, what's going on?

There must be some living faith in this 1500 year window, even if you want to call it like a 1200 year, 1300 year window, because for the first 200 years, you have the kind of apostolic age.
