The concept of the book was rather interesting to me. The notion of 'Christian Atheism' is not new (or a necessary contradiction) to me and I appreciate any and all rational use of Nietzsche's 'death of God.' What didn't interest me is the method. Whereas dialectics have been used in the past to better understand (Christian) theology; here's it's more as if Christianity is used as a tool to understand dialectic theology. The problem is to do so they must effectively whittle down the corpus of Christianity into the smallest units of division (a task many Protestant theologians have been at for decades--how to make the Bible an equation.)
