Title: Pretentious writing...
Review: Pretentious writing and dated view point. I mean saying the native americans are cursed... what's up with that? I was stunned to read this. I shudder to think what he would have to say about the African race, or the Chinese, or the Greeks... for that matter, what about the Italians, or the Koreans... Then I realized the book was copywritten around 1915... I guess that was the opinion of the day back then. But nearly a hundred years later, surely no sane person is walking around thinking any physical race is cursed. Are we not all children of God. This is something I would not want my children to read, nor could I in good conscious recommend this to a friend. I can't believe any church would endorse such racist teachings. On a positive note - the author's academic knowledge regarding Christ seems pretty sound. However, I stopped reading at the first racial slur. I wish I could delete this book from my cloud account.
