The Closing of the Western Mind: The Rise of Faith and the Fall of Reason (Vintage)

by Charles Freeman
- Rated 4 stars
“An excellent review of the interwoven and almost symbiotic relationiship between the early Christian church and the slowly disintegrating Roman Empire. The book loses a bit of focus in the last two chapters as the High Middle ages are rushed though to arrive at the Christianity of Thomas Aquinas. Recommended nonetheless.”

Beyond FundamentalismJames Barr
Beyond Fundamentalism

by James Barr
- Rated 2 stars
“After reading Barr's excellent, 'Fundamentalism', I did not understand the point of this book. It promises to be in a pastoral tone to those who have left Christian Fundamentalism, but wish to remain believers. However the bulk of the book is more arguments against Fundamentalism - in a much lighter tone than 'Fundamentalism', but a polemic nonetheless. Since only the later portion of the book offered pastoral care, I did not understand who the audience of this book was intended to be.”

Behold the Man

by Michael Moorcock
- Rated 3 stars
“Interesting idea - but I fear Moorcock is not very well versed in the New Testament. Moorcock misses soooo many opportunities that could have made this short novel much more profound.”
