I have read the book and hated it. On page 148 he tells a dirty joke, on 156 he uses coarse language. Ortberg clearly is an inclusivist and doesn't really understand what true evangelicalism is. His premise that Jesus changed the sciences, education, arts etc. is not established at all. God created Adam and Eve with intelligence at the beginning. The Fall notwithstanding, man still built great structures such as the wall of China and the Parthenon. Mathematics was partially developed in India. It contains a lot of inconsistencies with scripture. His advice at the end is "Try". The Gospel however is 'don't try'. Trust Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
