Title: We get the point already! Demson loves Barth & likes Frei!
Review: This is possibly the driest book that I have ever read, definitely drier then Kant, Lindbeck, or Frei himself. Basically Demson states that Frei does not have an adequate enough reading of Scripture, whereas Barth does. Barth suggests that it is impossible to read the Scriptures without understanding Jesus' relationship with the disciples. This is fine, but the problem with the book is that out of the 110 pages of writing, Demson only gives a few pages of his thoughts. 90% of this book is a meticulous reading of Barth's Church Dogmatics and Frei's Identity of Jesus Christ and Scripture itself. Plus, it is constant restatement that Frei does not discuss the disciples enough and how great Barth does with the disciples.This might be an adequate book if you are one who wants to read everything about Barth or Frei (of which I am one), but do not be surprised if you become disappointed.
