    Without a dictionary at hand, the term quintessential points to the
    ideal or the best example imaginable.
    
    To describe the qualities and characteristics of the quintessential
    Christian is indeed a tough assignment.

    It's kind of neat that Hebrews 11 is commonly referred to as the Hall
    of Faith.  There is a listing of biblical heroes who displayed great
    faith...yet when you really look at the history of most of their lives
    (Abraham, Sarah, David, etc.) you will find they also committed
    terrible blunders due to a lack of faith.
    
    All to point out the quintessential Christian doesn't necessarily have
    to have an earmark of a whole life of integrity and perfection!

Gives one reason to hope, I guess.
