Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-02 00:00:00 Marvin Pierre I have mixed feelings about this book. It's an excellent introduction to the world of theistic proof and it contains good excerpts that allow the student to start digging the complex world of (dis?)proving the divine. But even though it's excellent in that regard, it's clearly biased in its selection of material and in its way of handling it. It gets especially clear in the chapter of the moral argument. After reading it I looked the author up and, no surprise, he is the author of the Atheist Manifesto. A good book regardless!!!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-05 00:00:00 Mark Millner The book was alright. After awhile, it felt redundant giving both a summary of the myth alongside an "interpretation"- which was really just another summary of the myth. As someone who has spent a good deal of college credits studying mythology, I understood most of the references but for a reader trying to learn on their own, the book left many loose ends. I liked the idea of the ending to the book but it felt as if the authors became as bored as I was reading it. It's also hard to take a women's studies book seriously when it's written by male authors. Overall, a good collection of badly summarized myths about women- written by two men.
