[Cassidy]

Hold on. Accusing someone of baiting is near to accusing them of trolling. I do neither. If Ray wants a serious review of this book/critique then he has a willing participant right here. If he doesn't, that is fine too. My feelings won't be hurt either way.

UntoHim, you say it is only the beginning of the book and broad strokes are to be expected. Fine, we will see if Duddy has done the due diligence and provides substantiation for his confounding and befuddled broad brush accusations. So, as Duddy unfolds his argument I will be looking for the examples his uses to substantiate these statements:

"When the "vague and obscure" are absolutized, precision, their opposite, is depracated almost as a matter of course. For example, any attempts to approach biblical language as a vehicle of meaning, are routinely relegated by the LC to a status so inferior as to be virtual evidence of a "backslidden" condition. The stress is always on subjective experience."
