Title: You've got to be joking
Review: I found it impossible to take this book seriously. The reasoning is off the wall, lines of thought are often impossible to follow, and he basically just ends up in a big mess. I have seen Barre tout these ideas before, and he offers no backing for his outrageous ideas, he just says in effect, "That's the way it is because I say so." His argumentative tone and personal attacks on anybody who disagrees with him have gotten him kicked off no less than 7 Internet email lists, by his own count, and this book continues that dubious tradition.The book is supposed to be a series of "essays," but several of these "essays" are one sentence long. That's an essay? The blurb calls him a Bible scholar, but this book has as much in common with scholarship as a duck has with a bicycle. Don't waste your time or your money on this one. I tend to believe that the reason it's self-published is because no truly scholarly publisher would touch it with an eleven-foot pole.
Is the review positive or negative?
