Book Title: Crossed Fingers
Subtitle: How the Liberals Captured the Presbyterian Church
- the first book to identify and discuss in detail the five points of liberalism and the rival theological positions.

“The fact that it is not discussed is indicative of just how powerful the system is. You can trace the major figures on Wikipedia. This is hidden in plain site. It literally would be possible to piece together the history of the American Establishment by using nothing except texts from various articles published on Wikipedia. But no one does it. I am too busy, and there's not much incentive for younger historians to pursue such a task. It would ruin their careers, assuming that they ever got into a position in academia where they could have a career worth ruining.”
