Another reason why I like Carl...

I have not yet read Carl Trueman's Republocrat. I am planning to. Actually I am eagerly awaiting an autographed copy (ahem...). I will resist the temptation to actually comment on the merits or demerits of the book until I have read it. I know that sounds reasonable, but on the other hand...

Carl comments on a recent review of Republocrat by someone who has not actually read the book:

In the meantime, while I do not usually link to reviews of my own material, this one is priceless, if only for the honest acknowledgment at the start that the reviewer has not actually read the book, a fact which becomes rather obvious as he then proceeds to disagree with me, and offer helpful correctives, on a number of positions which I never actually advocate and have never held. Still, if I am ever tempted to change my mind and adopt any of them, I now have a bookmarked webpage to which I can turn for help.

Carl is waiting on pins and needles to hear what I think of Republocrat. In fact I have heard that he has locked himself in his room and is refusing to eat until I weigh in. So I'll try to contribute something to the conversation as soon as possible.
