Title: Compelling Reading for Christians and Non-Christians Alike
Review: Larry N. George, Ph.D. (lngeorge@adelphia.net), a professor of political science, July 24, 2004,Powerful and Provocative Reading for Christians and Non-Christians AlikeAnthony Bartlett has accomplished quite a feat: he has managed to say something new and profound about Christianity, and has done so with such deep erudition and in such a humanely compelling voice that even non-theists may well find themselves seduced by his argument, as I was. No issue could be more important for those affected by the power of monotheism in the world today -- and that, for better or worse, includes just about everyone -- than the question of violence and atonement. Bartlett's thesis is radical and provocative, and his book will stimulate much reflection and, literally, soul-searching on the part of Christian and non-Christian readers alike.
