I know John. He's a brilliant guy. I like him, personally, and he's a persuasive writer.
He is not (so far as I know) a literal-creationist, 6 day, young-earth.

I haven't read this book, but I would expect it to be well written.

I don't know if I would like the book, because I'm coming apriori with a bias against what I see as a BT over-emphasis on "eschatology under every rock" in the Bible. But he might persuade me he's found some useful things, made some useful observations. He's quite good.

Here's a helpful review: http://www.opc.org/review.html?review_id=150

I come with the same bias as you and it's because of this BT over-emphasis that I asked opinions about the book. Thanks, Bruce!
