Title: Overly metaphorical and slurs non-Christian religions
Review: Hypes Christianity with an overly-metaphorical 'spiritual' war that can only be resolved through intense prayer. Characters were stereotypical (the good priest; the 'ignores his family' working man; the 'young, good-looking' female reporter; etc.), and women earned their existence by being attractive, good wives, or witches. Treated all non-Christian religions (e.g., Muslim faith; anything new-age; etc.) as demonic. Writing was cliche-ish with overly dramatic swirls. I was hoping for a religious allegory or critique a la C.S. Lewis or James Morrow, but Peretti falls short.
Is the review positive or negative?
