Good book and very informative; but unfortunately
like the other books I've read in the Idiot Guide
series, they assume the theory of evolution and
modernist ideas. I suspect they never would have
been published had the authors been independent
thinkers. On page 275 the author says that the
phrase "the blind leading the blind" comes from a
piece of art painted by Pieter Bruegel ("Parable
of the Blind"). That's not true. It comes from the
words of Christ: " if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch." (Matthew 15:14).
Another problem with the Idiot Guide books I've
read, is that they seem to promote New Age
concepts (meditation, yoga, etc). But if they
endorsed prayer, I'm sure lawsuits would be filed
against the publishers or authors.
