***1/4
A very mixed bag. The first essay is by far the best; later ones have some redeeming value but tend to degenerate in to hateful anti- Christian rants which are reminiscent of those in the Talmud (which are cited as authorities, on occasion). Sloppy research for a professor of the classics, full of oversimplifications and outright false canards about church history and the development of the canon. The Trinity is also very misunderstood, but you can't expect much more from a nontheologian or nonphilosopher; however, one should prescind from professionally writing about which one does not understand enough to know one does not understand.
