Neil,

C’mon, man. If you aren’t arrogant about your beliefs, then you don’t truly love Jesus. It’s right there in the book of Hezekiah.

In the book Kimball “attacks” those who hold their beliefs arrogantly – the reviewer twists that to say he attacks anyone who holds those beliefs – BIG difference.

Chris P: Unfortunately this is a subjective call by both you and Kimball.

Couple of unrelated thoughts:

1) As a former writer for The Lighthouse electronic Magazine (the first (and IMHO, best) web-based Christian music magazine, the site’s name bugs me. Kinda reminds me about Driscoll joking that Bell’s church (which was started second) is also called Mars Hill and that he’s in therapy over that.

2) Who says nothing good can come from the ODMs. This review has convinced me that I need to read this book. I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll have a similar evaluation as Neil: interesting, somewhat insightful, but to which I would not fully agree.

“He does not attack these beliefs or those who hold them; what he does is â€œattackâ€ those who hold them negatively, arrogantly, unlovingly, and with vengeance.”

Unfortunately this is a subjective call by both you and Kimball. How are you any better than what you claim to be against?
Virtually everyhting “exegeted” here is relative rhetoric.

Merry,

I’m fairly convinced that if we dug for the origination of ‘Guilt-by-Association’ tactics on the internet, the Lighthouse Trails site would be near ground zero…

I’m not a big fan of the Lighthouse trails website. They always accuse my favorite authors of supporting homosexuals. They did this with Philip Yancey, and I’m sure others. Why is it that when somebody says one thing they don’t agree with, suddenly every single thing that person says is heresy, even though the opposite may be true. A lot of people do this, I notice. This website just does it with my favorite authors.

Lighthouse Trails has about as much to do with the truth as al Jazeera – just from a different slant…

A review would imply that the reader might actually understand what was written…
