Title: Below average, with far too many political digressions
Product review: For the most part, this book is competent and easy to understand. However, Harris seems to enjoy picking on politically sensitive parts of the Bible and injecting political rather than religious interpretations. He strays from his own purpose and that completely undercuts any of his credibility has an ubiased scholar. For example, after his summary of the section of Romans that calls homosexuality unnatural and quite definitely a sin, he injects a paragraph about the theory that homosexuality is not a choice, but something that is genetic or formed in early childhood. That's nice, but it has absolutely nothing to do with interpreting the Bible has it's written there. He does something similar in the passage about Sodom and Gemorrah. Ah well.
