Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-20 00:00:00 Tina Paulbrantley This was one of the texts used while preparing for the German reading test required for the Philosophy Ph.D. at Loyola University Chicago. During the most intensive period of study I was basically living in a cabin near the SE shore of Lake Michigan, supporting myself with a teaching assistantship which mostly involved research and editing. Consequently, I didn't have to be at the university very often. Although I found the study of grammar odious, I'd bring this and other books down to the beach daily, studying them for at least a couple of hours before allowing myself more pleasurable reading. By the end of the summer I suppose I could get the gist of German texts on the level of magazine articles, but my retention of the grammar was terrible and I rarely could recall the proper assignation of articles, gender in German being non-intuitive. Within a few months I'd forgotten most everything except for some vocabulary.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-09 00:00:00 Pamela Mayer The Holy, Inspired and inerrant word of God! I can say no more than READ IT! I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. -The Nicene Creed
