Theos-Talk Archives (January 2009 Message tt00192)

Francis Bacon is an interesting character.  I believe there were some
passages early on in the ML about him.  Nonetheless, to say, he was
highly thought of.

This Peter Dawkins, who you mention, seems to be a wonderful
counterweight to his materialist colleague, bookends, so to speak :)
