I would like to thank Michael Spreng for submitting a review of Peter J. Liethart’s Against Christianity. Michael is the pastor of the Reformed Church of Yuma and the author of Drawing His People which I reviewed here.
On a less upbeat note, I have added the requirement of having a previously approved comment before your comments will appear. This is due to the sudden influx of spam comments at this site. I do not like the idea of censoring comments provided they are on topic and and I would prefer they appear immediately but the situation calls for this slight restriction. After the first comment is approved, all others will appear immediately. Given that a site like this does not generate a high volume of comments, this should not be that much of an issue.
