Could you kindly supply some type of reference to the D.G. Hart review? I should like to read it (or listen to it or watch it or whatever).
It was in a Modern Reformation issue concurrent with the release of Lillback's book. I read it at seminary and don't have the bibliographic info available (I no longer live in Jackson).
