Here is where we disagree. While it might seem useful to understand evil in order to bring people to light (of which I have certainly done my share), it is better to understand the light, and let it so shine before men. So instead of researching the failures of their philosophy, I research the misunderstood aspects of Torah, and teach from its manifestations in both politics and science. Manifest evidence works best.
In certain ages the Lord called forth His prophets. In other times of great darkness He raised up His heresy hunters such as Irenaeus and Augustine since as jewelers and great artists know, Light shines brightest against the dark.
