The author starts out the book with an axe to grind and comes off rather pompous. However, his passion and arguments are similar to my own. So, I appreciate his position, though some preface material is subjective. The bulk of the book is spot on so far.

Just finished The first two tractates.

“If I say of one and the same thing, "one sword, one brand, one blade" […] this is rather the iteration of ones, not their numeration, just as if we were to say "sword, brand, blade," this is a sort of repetition of the same thing not a numeration of different things […] So then if God be predicated thrice, of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the threefold predication does not result in plural number.”
—Boethius

"In Physics, then, we shall be bound to use scientific, in Mathematics, systematical, in Theology, intellectual concepts; and in Theology we should not be diverted to play with imaginations, but rather apprehend that form which is pure form and no image, which is very being and the source of being."
—Boethius "Theological Tractates"

I haven't had a chance to just sit down and read this book.

So far this is an excellent collection of articles demonstrating the current standing of Lexicography and Biblical Studies. Sadly, little has changed since 2004.
