This is going to be a very slow read--not because of the writing, but because it makes so many interesting points that it takes time to research them all.

So far, this is a very informative and enlightening book.

This has been an interesting read so far, but I have problems with much of the Biblical exposition, finding it a bit stretched. The authors have a point they want to make and have little problem twisting unrelated references to their goal.

So far it's a real page turner. The nicest thing has been getting support references for things I've taught for some time.

An excellent, but slow read. What makes it slow is the constant deep thoughts inspired on almost every page.

So far it seems mostly to rehash his previous works.

Interesting, thought I find myself questioning some of their reasoning.

Wonderfully written story.

Though I don't agree with everything, this book is well written and laid out. It has been so interesting that it is quite a page-turner.

This is an excellent book thus far. Not only is it interesting, but the author is a true wordsmith whose writing is a pleasure to read.

An interesting story of the discovery that one of the greatest contributors to the Oxford English Dictionary was a scholarly lunatic in an asylum for murder.

I am intrigued by his exposition of Aquinas' virtue of Caritas (Charity) as animating and focusing the other virtues. He goes on to argue the addict attempts to make up for the lack of this virtue with the addictive behavior.

Though only a short way into his full argument, the author has done an excellent job of showing the false dichotomy so prevalent in the views of addiction--limiting it to either a disease or a choice.

Though only a short way into his full argument, the author has done an excellent job of showing the false dichotomy so prevalent in the views of addition--limiting it to either a disease or a choice.

Like most analytic philosophy the reading can be slow, and at times laborious. However, the modal arguments are a thing of beauty. Dr. Almeida handles the Anselmian arguments quite deftly.

Though I haven't gotten far into his argument, I enjoy the way he frames it and the philosophical approach to the subject.

He makes excellent points in the comparison between Christian emphasis on orthodoxy and Jewish emphasis on orthopraxy. However, his representation of the Christian view is a bit skewed--though that is to be expected.
