Title: What passes for scholarship these days?
Review: Rabinowitz's book is not merely silly, it is pretentious as well. His conclusions are specious at best, when they are not actually fanciful. All of this is presented in prose of Saharan dryness. Classical scholars might find this text a useful example of how not to reason and research. The pagan woo-woo set,who will read anything endorsing their views, will be defeated by the short text's sheer turgidity.
