Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-04 00:00:00 Nathan Scheuerlein Really poor.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-04 00:00:00 Charles Martin This is easily the worst philosophical book I have ever read (I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and specialize in the philosophy of religion). Three examples: first, the entire chapter on heaven is nothing but a long list of rhetorical questions, and as I teach my first-year philosophy students rhetorical questions are not arguments. Second, when he attempts to critique some philosophical argument he demonstrates his true ignorance of the subject matter almost immediately (see, for example, his truly terrible description of cosmological arguments). Finally, he almost always fails to consider counterexamples/replies to his arguments. I'm really at a loss for how anyone would agree to publish this.
