He’s, um, not terribly sympathetic, and tends towards a harsh and dismissive tone. But, he does (I assume, accurately) summarize their conclusions, and their main lines of argument. So the reviews are at least useful for that.<\/p>\n

Also relevant: his take on the chapters on Incarnation<\/a>, and the Liar, Lunatic, Lord argument<\/a> for the divinity of Jesus. See the lively and lengthy discussion<\/strong> on this last one, with substantial contributions by Mike Rea, Mike Almeida, Victor Reppert, and others.<\/p>\n
