Reviews

[Jennifer Layte · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting, well-researched, pretty decent theology I think, but not particularly well-written, in my opinion. He gets a little rant-y and mocking regarding those with whom he disagrees. Even though I myself may disagree with those same views or people, I find the tone off-putting which makes his arguments less appealing as well.

Reading for class. Not loving it - it's a little too silly, so far.
