It's hard to know how to feel now about the Christian "heroes" like Hudson Taylor, Corrie ten Boom, Amy Carmichael, Gladys Aylward, Jim Elliott, Eric Liddell, Adoniram Judson, etc.

Growing up, those Christian-hero names were spoken of with the greatest reverence. All the talk about their courage, sacrifice, etc. They were above criticism and reproach; lauded in the highest terms.

I think Corrie ten Boom is still quite admirable no matter - even if she was a Christian, surviving the Holocaust is a monumental feat. Eric Liddell? He now seems like annoying-OCD-ish about his refusal to run on Sunday. Judson translating the entire Bible into Burmese? An incredible linguistic feat, but.....if the Bible is false, then was he really doing any good? John Wesley - a fantastic orator, but if he was preaching a Christian message that was wrong, then was he really a hero? Jim Elliott and his wife seem to come across as smarmy and arrogant rather than heroic.

How do you guys feel about these heroes and heroines? I really don't know what to think.
