Scholars, God bless them

What I love most about modern scholarship is its tendency to argue about everything. Even the most obvious of truths. For example in the March issue of First Things there is a review of a new biography of Bach. The reviewer mentions that many musicologists do not think that Bach was a really a man of faith, and the biography under review proves this opinion wrong once and for all. Maybe it's my lack of musical training, but I figured anyone who has ever heard the St. Matthew Passion would have no doubts about Bach's deep faith.
