fyi
That is one stunning book. I recommend everyone read it.
I thought the book had some very good points.
I am not sure you could call it ‘scholarly’ but ‘logical’ might be a better description.
It asks you to take ‘leaps of faith’. For example, the argument is made that the United States is a lot like Israel in the OT. Both were founded on the religious concepts. Both did well until they turned from God. Both suffered as a result.
Is that scholarly? I’d say probably not.
But it is logical.
