Customer comments on this selection.
 THE BOOK IS GREAT, THE EDITION IS SHIT
I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO READ THIS VERY GOOD BOOK TO PURCHASE ANOTHER EDITION. THE REASONS ARE THE FOLLOWING:
1) EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD BE IN ITALICS IS NOT, MAKING MANY PARTS OF THE BOOK HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
2) LONG CITATIONS ARE PACKED TOGETHER WITH THE PARAGRAPHS CONTRARY TO MLA FORMAT MAKING THE BOOK HARD TO READ. QUOTATIONS MARKS ARE AWKWARDLY DISPLAYED CAUSING FURTHER CONFUSION.
3) THERE ARE MISTAKES IN THE PRINT, LIKE PLACING A TITLE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ESSAY CONFUSING THE READER.
4) THE PRINT IS TOO BIG, IT MAKES THE BOOK TOO BULKY, THE PAGES ARE PROBABLY THE CHEAPEST AND WORST QUALITY AVAILABLE.
THIS IS THE WORST EDITION I EVER HAD OF ANY BOOK, IT IS SO BAD THAT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE MARKET BECAUSE IT GIVES THE BOOK A BAD IMAGE.
AS TO THE BOOK ITSELF, I CHECKED THE SOURCES THEY ARE OK, I STUDIED THIS BOOK I DIDN'T SIMPLY READ IT. THE BOOK IS FINE AND PROPERLY WRITTEN, NO BLUFFS, THERE ARE MANY MORE BOOKS ON THIS SUBJECT, THIS BOOK IS SIMPLY A BRIEF INTRODUCTION.

ORDER ARRIVED ON TIME PACKED PERFECTLY
I AM SO HAPPY AND TOTALLY SATISFIED.
The Truth Revealed!
A valuable chronicle depicting the politics that made Christianity the colossal force it is today. Definitely thought provoking.
Another Wheless Classic
Although it is abundantly clear that Joseph Wheless has no use for organized religion, what he has to say has merit. Wheless' detailed and intelligent research makes this book hard to ignore. Whether you are a devout Christian or an Atheist this book is thought provoking reading. Exceptional!
 On the Biblical Usages of the Term
This is not a review of this book, per say, (so ignore the 1 star rating) but just a quick response to Geoff Puterbaugh's review comment on the Biblical usages of the term "elohim" :-
" 'Elohim' does NOT always mean "gods" (plural); the meaning of the term is to be determined by grammatical and contextual clues. GRAMMAR is IMPORTANT! Grammar is to language what your graphical internet browser is to the websites on the internet - it is the organizing vehicle that gives meaning to the data -bits of information; without it you'd have to create your own method of obtaining and understanding that information - it would be totally SELF STYLED. Grammar dictates the formation of words, the relationship of words to each other, and the meaning of those words with respect to that arrangement. Without attention to the rules of grammar that have governed the languages of ancient texts, you can make the texts say ANYTHING; grammar is a control against total subjectivity. Sitchin ignores grammar in his work on elohim in this passage (and others). The PDF files below illustrate (from the Hebrew) that "elohim" often refers to a "god" or "God" (proper name). Besides this evidence from the Hebrew Bible, I have also posted examples from ancient Mesopotamian texts (Akkadian) and the famous El-Amarna texts (also Akkadian) where the plural word for "gods" ('ilanu) refers to a single person or god - just as in the case of Hebrew elohim."
(...)
My point is simple: Any critique of the Biblical usages of the term 'elohim' that fails to take into account the 'grammatical' rules (or principles) of interpretation, (as indicated above by Michael S. Heiser, Ph.D.,) must ultimately be deemed as faulty.
