Title: Good in some ways but dichotomistic
Review: I had to read this book as a requirement for ministry school. It was good as a text for exegesis and Hermeneutics. However, when I got to page 150 I was horrified to find that they made fun of one of my heroes St. Augustine for his interpretation of the good Samaritan. Look this guy wrote the great classic "City of God"! So what if his interpretation was a little weird. It lines up with scripture.Then there was another thing. The authors said that the Song of Songs was not an allegory of Christ and the Church. It darn well was to the early church fathers! I wanted to throw the book against the wall. However, since it was required reading, I would have had to walk over, pick it up and finish reading it any way.
