I found the format of this book to be a excellent way to deliver the information presenting the propositions of truth claims by either side, about the issues at hand. It is a brief way to heavily delve into the topic and understand the main differences between the two. I do not agree with the some of the reasoning used in the conclusion, but I believe the outcome of the comparison is clearly proven and decisive.
I think that every student of theology should examine this book, to see what happens when Christianity turns shamefully into an invertedness which spirals out of control because of a focus upon Man and the God whom Man creates as being servile and patient waiting eagerly to see what Man will do next so that God knows the options available for God to act within.
Amazing.
Unfortunately the time span from its development shows that folks caught up into this are about the age to be considered authority figures for some who lack discipline of the mind and heart.
To God's glory alone, is our banner cry as servants of the Most High God. This is our joy and eternal song.
