I'm relatively well read, but no scholar, but that won't stop me from saying I agree with his conclusions. With the knowledge that all knowledge is not what either the author or I have.
In his usual form he covers his ideas and some of the major objections voiced by others. Some of which I wondered about until his discussions were read. His explanations, discussions, comments are quite accessible to the nonacademic audience.
My major objection to any of it was his constant reminder of what his position is. But, repetition keeps all of us on track, I suppose.
I'd recommend a slow read or a re-read to stay with him, though. For those that want to fact check sources the notes, index, and index of biblical passages are available in the last 50 pages or so.
A good, timely read from an established authority in his field.
