OUTSTANDING!, 10 Mar 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctrines That Divide (Paperback)
I've been looking for a book like this for sometime. BOTH sides of the issues which Christians are divided over are explained. Not only are the issues explained fairly, but Erwin Lutzer brings in the giants to defend each position; no straw men here. The Martin Luther-vs-Erasmus section over Free Will is really good. Another thing which I like is that the author lets you know his positions on the issues. This allows the reader to decide if he is being fair to the other view.

Good and Scriptural, but not Objective, 16 Jun 2001
By Luke Sneeringer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctrines That Divide (Paperback)
While I believe that Erwin Lutzer has written an outstanding book and I agree with him on almost every point (infant baptism being the huge exception), I do find a slight quibble in that the book is advertised as presenting an objective opinion, which it does not. However, I will hasten to point out that Lutzer is backed up by Scripture is his statements on every single point, which makes up for most of this and brings my rating of the book up to 4 stars. I'd give it a full 5 if he was more straightforward in the fact that he was in fact arguing for specific positions (including Calvinism, which is perfectly Biblical--don't get me wrong, but he specifically says at one point that he's not trying to convince the reader to become a Calvinist when in fact I think he really is).It's an excellent read, and Lutzer's thesis is certinaly important--we cannot sacrifice essential doctrines for the sake of unity. The former is more important.

4.0 out of 5 stars
brief yet substantial overviews of subjects, 3 Mar 2001
By "shofar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctrines That Divide (Paperback)
The author does a good job in presenting his views without being overtly offensive, although the matter-of-fact style may appear cold to someone with a differing perspective. I found the overviews brief yet satisfying for the fact that they contain a lot of useful, meaty information. One might expect a book whose purpose is to treat divisive issues to be written from more of a non-partisan stance, however that is not the case here. I did note however that the author has an eclectic educational background. From this I was persuaded that he is an open-minded individual who genuinely has a heart for the truth of the scriptures. Then again, if the book were written from a neutral point of view, you may never hear the true arguments pro or con for each position. After you read this book, you may wish to read a few more with different perspectives and compare them to see which seem to be more consistent with the scriptures.
