This book is probably groundbreaking for someone who has lived under a stone for the last 200 years. It's standard liberal Christianity combined with a tiresome arrogance - or better: intellectual snobbery - of "Most Christians will get a shock when they read this book because it claims something different from what they have been taught their whole life". For example: "Students are often troubled to learn that some of the gospel stories of Jesus may not have actually happened just as they show more are reported". I've heard that claim like a thousand times now, so "no" this book doesn't destroy my fantasy world and "no" this books isn't as groundbreaking as it claims. show less
