Review title: Tell Me It Isn't True Product review: I always respected Jimmy Carter as a man, even when I disagreed with his politics. His humanitarian and reconciliation efforts since leaving the White House only increased that respect. Then why did he write this mean-spirited, often falacious screed against Israel? Only he can answer that.His basic premise--that American Middle East policy has tilted toward the state of Israel at the expense of real peace progress--may even be true, but he won't pursuade many readers who are truly open minded (as opposed to the close-minded majorities, both right and left) with this unbalanced and unfair revision of history.Not Recommended.

Review title: What is the riddle of steel? Product review: When I first heard Manowar, I thought they were the greatest spoof on heavy metal since Spinal Tap. Then I realized that this was no joke - THESE GUYS WERE ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS. Apparently Joey DiMaio thinks that what the world needs most is a swords-and-sorcery anthem from a bunch of guys who have probably played far too much Dungeons and Dragons. This is "Conan Metal" at its most ridiculous. Funnier than Gwar - but only because they don't realize they're kidding.

Review title: Wonderful low-priced edition for serious study Product review: This edition is perfect for serious study for anyone willing to confront the New Testament appreciatively but critically. Though low-priced, it is very extensively annotated and cross-referenced, more than the Harper-Collins Study Bible and much more than the Oxford Annotated Bible. It is a Catholic version with the imprimatur of the Vatican, but is very scholarly and self-critical. For example, regarding Jesus' entry into Jerusalem where Matt. 21:5-7 describes Jesus as riding on both an ass and a colt fulfilling the prophecy of Zech. 9:9, this edition points out that only one animal was involved, and the duplication was a Hebrew literary device (parallelism), and "that Matthew takes them as two is one of the reasons why some scholars think that he was a Gentile rather than a Jewish Christian who would presumably not make that mistake." The edition also has very extensive study guides.
