Title: Steer Clear
Review: The Universe Next Door is a good example of the pseudo scholarship on which too many clergy, laypersons and college students are being nurtured these days, and on which they construct misinformed estimates of positions other than their own.If you want a clear example of what I am describing, examine Sire's discussion of Karl Barth in which he identifies him as an existentialist who began with man and not with God (p. 128). Obviously, Sire is either unfamilar with, or has read but does not understand, Barth's Church Dogmatics, I.1, chapter 1,4:3 ("The Word of God Revealed"). Nor has Sire read Barth's The Humanity of God. His discussion of postmodernity is also minimally informed. He doesn't really understand the subject. Sire is well enough informed to mislead.This book will mire the reader in error that masquerades as informed scholarship.Shame on IVP for publishing and recommending a book that was not first carefully critiqued by competent scholars.
