I am pleased that this all took place prior to Michael Mols's presentation (above) so that I was able to avoid the depth, scope, and conclusions he has presented. I should add, however, that I am pleased to note that Bibfeldt is still being studied and continues to influence theology in the twenty-first century (whenever it began).
