The low(er) rating is not so much reflective of the fact that I didn't ENJOY the book, as much as it is reflective of the fact that I kept getting distracted as a read, pondering the different ways that I, as a Pentecostal, would frame this or that point. It only became slowly clear (and I wish the authors had been more up-front on this point) that the book is written from a Roman Catholic perspective. Thus, it's not surprising that several points rankled, not the least of which was the absolute inability to speak of Scripture without immediately tacking on the phrase "and Tradition."
