Summary: Couldn't Pick it Up
Comment: Ok I didn't finish the book, I made it through the first few chapters and scanned the rest, it is possible something in here made up for what I waded through but for what its worth. This is a collection of Wilson's idiosyncratic opinions. He presents his own ideas rather than solid theological arguments, proof texts instead of sound exegesis and uses colorful rhetoric rather than logical debate. The footnotes I read pointed to other books published by the author rather than backing up his statements. You may agree with everything Wilson says, for me I found him untrustworthy and outside the mainstream witness of the Reformed and Evangelical faith.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down
Comment: I have designated book reading times only a few times a week. So if I'm really into a book, it will go all over this little island. Mother Kirk must have graced the presence of my barber, dentist and several relatives. Jam-packed with wisdom and filled with many quotables throughout, this book will challenge Evangelicals to reassess their practices (the appendix's 32 questions for elders and wives would be very helpful if church's had the spine to implement such a needed and biblical screening) and more importantly their identity.
I found myself almost cheering out loud in chapters 2- Reformational Identity and 4- Thunder of the Word. I also found myself taking special notice of the chapter on the sacraments. Compelling arguments for the use of leavened bread and of course real wine. Loved the part on baptized children partaking communion. Also enjoyed the chapter on the Sabbath.
If you are satisfied with living out a convenienced, mundane, 9-5, unionized Christianity (AS-IF! but sadly some are), don't read this book. If you are a Christian who thirsts for more and more, get this book right away. You will be provoked to reevaluate your, your church's and evangelicalism's current status. You'll then be provoked to forward the cause of Christ. Fired me up.
