The clumsy apologetic & hubris of Bryan Hodge is remarkable.
I chuckled once I reached the chapter in which he labels Peter Leithart (of all theologians, and among other preterists) in bizarre ways. I will list twelve of those artificial labels below:

(1) “assuming a superficial view of inspiration” (p.81)
(2) lacking a “robust understanding of inerrancy” (p.82)

The Intro uses a lot of big boy rhetoric and preps the interested reader for tremendous insights to come.
Chapter one puts on a good show for a quick minute like a high school thug in the ring with Mike Tyson.
Round one was amusing.
