Title: Interesting, but marred by Roman Catholic sectarianism
Product review: I generally enjoyed Jones' rehearsing of the sexual pecadillos of various secular intellectuals, and how they used their work as a justification of their illicit sexual behavior. Little known facts were revealed, though many of these items have been collected elsewhere.But then, at the end of the book, Jones launches into a viriulent attack on Martin Luther as the root of all of these problems, outrageously claiming that Luther's doctrine of the bondage of the will (similar to doctrines found in Augustine and Aquinas) was developed virtually solely as a justification of Luther's breaking his monastic vow and getting married. Jones actually claims Luther is some sort of medieval Hugh Hefner! All of this is quite ludicrous, hardly in the spirit of Vatican II, and outweighs (and even calls into question) the veracity of the profiles of the other secularist persons herein.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
