Customer Reviews

Coogan lost his faith to his own intelligence.

If you are interested in how far someone can fall into disbelief through academia, this book shows that there is nothing safe from modernism. It twists from feminist to historical to progressive to crazy. Look elsewhere for a realistic look on the Old Testament.
