Robert Stump re
views David Alan Black’s book Why Four Gospels? on his Homo Homini Lupus blog.
Two portions stand out:
The greatness of Black’s little book is its common sense. That it has taken so many years for someone of Black’s prestige to stand up and point out the silliness is too bad; that it has finally happened is a great relief.
And …
Most writers in this field are neither as lucid nor as aesthetically pleasant and quaint as Black; many are hardly readable. So be warned. You will be disappointed if you read Black as an introduction to the field. He set the bar for clarity and the rest of ’em miss it.
I almost feel led to remind readers (and potential reviewers) that we don’t require positive reviews. 🙂
Thanks to Robert for an interesting and positive review!
