Title: Thought provoking, but hard to swallow...
Product review: Unlike the review that Modern Berean gave, I don't think the book was total trash. It does indeed make a person go, "What?" a lot of the time, but, there are some definite truths to what Mr. Smith wrote.It did take me a while to warm up to his writing style. I'm sure that has to do with the fact that he's a lawyer. Its also difficult to understand exactly what he personally believes.His attempt to give an overview of Christianity for non-believers and believers both, leaves you scracthing your head at some of his conclusions. While I agree with him that we (as Christians) should take a HUGE step back from our belief systems and take a fresh look at the Jesus we think we know, I'm not sure that abandoning whole parts of the Bible is how to begin.All in all, I wouldn't recommend buying the book. Go to your library and check it out.
