So to critique evil I must read what is evil? So to critique pornography I must view it first? So I must put my head in a cement mixer first so I can report back to others how dangerous this is? I’ll bet I can find at least 100 scriptural reasons why sola scriptura is the way to go but then I would be accused of semantic sculpturing to prove my point!

Your assumption is that Dave's book is in fact, "evil" when it isn't. It's a good book, well-reasoned, and well-researched, authored by a very humble, unassuming man.

You won't read it because you are afraid of it.

Read in the Bible the temptation of Christ. Christ uses Scripture point by point to refute Satan’s assertions. I don’t have to read Armstrong’s book because we have Christ’s example of how to defeat evil, written for our use. The Bible says..”Resist the Devil and he will flee from you!” Now how did Christ do it? By the power of the word of HIS Father! This word that had been recorded by the prophets of old! The account of the temptation of Jesus Christ is the most powerful account of how Sola Scriptura is supposed to work! Armstrong can stuff it!

“As it is written, man does not live by Bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out from the mouth of God!”

Please re-read the religion forums guidelines. By inferring motive you are making it personal.
