I'm sort of hypnotized by the amazon.com reviewer who said of Peter Kreeft's excellent "You Can Understand the Bible":
Written poetically, charmingly, this is a wonderful addition to the library of anyone who loves charm and poetry in their religion. But the bible isn't about charming religion. Kreeft left some things out that are not charming but real. Sin, man's depravity, damnation, false teachers and religions, repentence, evil to name a few. Today's liberal religion professors are turning the bible into a guidebook to hell. This is one of those guidebooks.Wow. I've always thought Kreeft as the Mr. Orthodoxy (especially after reading his "Handbook of Christian Apologetics" in which Hell figures prominently, getting a full chapter.)
But there's no pleasing some people. There's always going to be a crank. And yet Kreeft is more controversial than I thought. He wrote a book called Ecumenical Jihad which got very mixed reviews. So is Peter Kreeft = Mr. Controversialist!? (lol)
