Quote: Other reviews of note are D. Stephen Long’s devastating review of Jay Richards Money, Greed, and God

Me: I just read through Long’s review. Now I have NOT read through Richard’s book and I do NOT have an axe to grind in this debate (though I am intersted in it). But I am not sure why Long’s review is described as devastating. Without having read Richard’s book I can think of a few different ways that he could respond to Long’s criticisms that seem initially plausible. Perhaps you could clarify the above remark for me?

Thank you,
David

I smiled at ‘mother Kent’, I chuckled at ‘bambi boys’ – but calling Oliver O’Donovan a ‘dude’? You just crossed the line van Heitigen.

But I still like you because you’re sassy and possibly Dutch.

Ok, please unveil yourself. There is no way you are an actual human being…who are you? Seriously. No one is that pompous and elitist. Justin? Don? Francesca?

Looks like the kids had to call in mother kent to protect them. poor little book reviewing bambi boys cant handle Milbank. Read some and let’s get into a proper exchange rather than hiding behind some other dude’s thoughts about him.

The kiddie table is always more fun . . . I thought the kingdom was made up of kids anyways ;-) .

Any table including a theologian is automatically the kiddie table in my book.

Peter, this is the kind of nasty blogging we have no interest in here. It serves no one, and degrades the medium. Happy to have you around, but not if this is characterstic of your comments.

I hope that “peter van heitigen” isn’t the pseudonym for John Milbank.

Sounds like a lot self-congratulatory graby-grab going on in this neck of the woods. Book reviews = the kiddy table. That place at the party where the food is cut up nice and neat and where the kiddos sit around and giggle and the adults peek over every once in a while to make sure they’re behaving.
