Hall demonstrates an excellent grasp of scientific principles for a master theologian. The book addresses important issues and, considering its age, does a good job of addressing them. The problem is that, being more than a century old, the science explained in the books is often comically outdated. (Although one can also see that the scientific conclusions of a century ago were on the right trajectory in light of today's consensus.) Additionally, some will be frustrated that Hall doesn't address many of the "hot topics" debated today in theological circles, the biggest being the issue of the historicity of Adam. The books is worth reading if you're interested in the subject or are working through the issues involved, but there are plenty of contemporary books available that aren't outdated and that deal more specifically with the issues debated today.
