Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-28 00:00:00 Blase Sorritelli This collection of essays/lectures on various aspects of the ongoing study of St. Hugh of Lincoln covers a lot of ground. The sections I enjoyed the most were those devoted to his background as a Carthusian monk, his "holy man" image juxtaposed into the Angevin court and the process of his canonisation. Certainly, Hugh was an interesting fellow, happiest as a humble monk, but quite capable of facing down kings when the need arose.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-31 00:00:00 H J Cole I read the first edition and really liked it. It goes into detail about how much of The Book of Mormon was directly lifted from the book "View of the Hebrew." There are some pretty slanderous things said about Joseph Smith, and the overall tone reminds me of Thomas Paine's "The Age of Reason," but I doubt that someone who's already a firm believer in the Mormon faith will be swayed by it. The overall theme of "how can anyone believe this?" can be grating, but the evidence itself is hard to deny.
