Where I thought Frank was “arrogant” as I put it was in his book after converting to Eastern Orthodoxy, but I must admit it’s been many years since I read that book so my perspective may be a bit skewed. On the other hand, it may be a mistake to characterize his novels as not honoring his parents, because the characters may have been based on his parents, but they were works of fiction so I’m sure he took many liberties, which is only proper since, well, it was fiction. I only read “Portofino” of that trilogy, by the way.

While I admired Francis Schaeffer, especially in my college years, since then I’ve found may areas of disagreement, especially his opposition to Kierkegaard and his “leap of faith.”
