Just picked this up at 1/2-price books for $3.50. Anyone read this?

Amazon doesn't have any reviews of it so I don't know what to think of my find!
I have read it. Rhetorically, it is great. (When you get a few chapters into the book you will understand that pun).

He does a good job in showing the uniqueness and importance of a "public theology."

His section on Theonomy/Theocracy was terrible. In fact, he refutes himself in the next chapter by allowing for it after he had argued against it!

It is an interesting book and one that reflects well on the American scene. A few years later, John Bolt got drilled by J. Budidzsewksi in this book.
