While the book on the whole is rather awful (in terms of writing style, editing, organization, coherence, etc.) there are interesting things to glean by the way. For instance, in this part of the review I was struck by his explanation that he found the gospel “intellectually stimulating,” which to him meant “there was an answer or doctrine for nearly every problem or situation that rose up under the theological sun.” Think of the implications of that statement.BHodgeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01751807169882645742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960447.post-18832089703930441962009-06-24T10:47:47.172-06:002009-06-24T10:47:47.172-06:00This is such an interesting post. I'm fascinated at how our past changes based on the lenses we wear in the present. I'm also fascinated that McCraney has had such a different experience than myself with the Church. Thanks for writing this series.Kent (MC)http://www.mormonconferences.orgnoreply@blogger.com
