(Inre: Toynbee, what do you think about this sentence from the Wikipedia page: "Yet Toynbee's work lost favor among both the general public and scholars by the 1960s, due to the religious and spiritual outlook that permeates the largest part of his work. His work is considered today controversial and is seldom read or cited."

I don't know exactly what is meant by that. I certainly don't have a problem with someone's spirituality permeating through their work -- especially when humanity's spirituality permeates its history, but you're the one that can't stand Lewis.)
