Let's Talk About What We Aren't Supposed To Talk About... Religion!
This is the best description of that book,
"This book, like it's earlier version, is a "20 pound term paper." Josh props up his premises with as many quotes as possible. But tons of quotes don't make something true. It's very human to trust that any book this long must be true; why would anyone do so much work putting it together if it wasn't? Sorry, but some guys like writing long books. Length doesn't not add up to truth, necessarily.
I have no contempt for Josh at all; he got where he is sincerely, looking for happiness. But people get addicted to painkillers the same way.
My space here is extremely limited, so here are a couple of things to think about:
ETDAV is infested with flaws of reasoning that most individuals, especially young people, are defenseless against.
Falacies of logic are primary tools of most major media and advertisers; after so much exposure to them, many individuals reason like their brains are installed backward. They want easy answers because their culture has reinforced the idea that answers should come easily: Buy a book, read it, believe it. Easy.
Life's not like that, though, and serious Bible knowledge is not easily aquired. It wasn't until I took a logic course in college that I knew there how much my thinking and analytical skills could be improved. It was through such learning that I came to question my American Christian experience, to seek clarity and a more realistic though life.
Some of the hardest questions about the Bible are the simplest. Here are a few McDowell does not cover.
