"In fact, there was quite a bit of the specific elements of the Medieval world view that was not derived from New Testament Christianity."

As I pointed-out in my comments on Part I of this series, Ed Zinke's world-view is much more aligned with New Testament Christianity, than either Platonic-Augustinian or Aristotelian-Aquinas syntheses of the earlier and later Mediaeval Christian teaching.

Others have pointed-out the absurdity of the false Modernist-Mediaeval dichotomy presented here.  Also for anyone who cares to study the question, just as Mediaeval Christian thinking diverged significantly over time, the same goes for Modernism.  You can no more treat one uniformly than the other.  Nor subsume all other world-views in these two.

Yet Dr Taylor persists in weaving his "neo-Mediaeval" mantle for Ed Zinke.  Why?  Apparently this bit of syncretist sophistry suits Dr Taylor's meta-narrative.  

From flawed premises can arise flawed conclusions.
