Loftus does something hard and only achievable by those who honestly want to get to what is real - speak as straightforwardly and candidly as possible about philosophy. A lot of philosophers get caught in a web of obfuscation, either to inflate their ideas with language only a few can understand, or because they are so deep in the mine of expertise they only feel like speaking to other miners in the depths of an academic enclave and not doing the extremely hard work to be able to speak to outsiders.
The book is fresh air for thinking and fun for those of us who spent years in the Academy in Biblical or Theological Studies. I hope those who still think faith is somehow a virtue at least appreciate the clear punch in the nose.
Ignore the hilarious bad reviews that use ad hominem as reason (they attack the authors credentials and not the reality of the work or arguments - like arguing against Steve Jobs character somehow makes the iPhone disappear and Apple not a great tech company. No, they are still there. )
I’ll offer no defence of Loftus, only my opinion that it was a fun and worthy read which is quite well put , especially for those with a background in theology or religious studies or the philosophy of religion who can be honest about their disciplines.
