"So far, so good. From age 15 to 30, Barker devoted his life to winning souls through preaching and song. At age 30, he began reading widely, changed his mind and now devoted his life to win minds to reason through public debates and song. In this book, Barker uses his extensive knowledge of the Bible and experience as a public debater to critic theism in general and the Bible in particular. I was especially pleased with Barker's clear, concise and, in my opinion, fair discussion of the difference between atheism and agnosticism."
"The title grabbed me because I thought this would present an interesting viewpoint. While some of Godless is interesting, overall I lacked knowledge of Evangelical dogma to fully understand the arguments made and the theological history referenced. From my outsider's view the statements presented as reasoning used by evangelicals appeared to be overly simplified (by the author), which aids in their easy demise by the author.
