- Sabbath keeping is one of those issues, like the trinity, where good arguments exist on both sides. This book is apologetic in nature and therefore allows no room for ambiguity or uncertainty, so it is very one-sided despite claims to the counter. The biggest flaw is not addressing the history of the shift from Saturday to Sunday which was in the 4th century, which means it was a catholic/roman imposition; and the fact that Jesus and his followers were sabbath keepers and he never abrogated that tradition. This doesn't mean there are not arguments for abrogation, just that they are not cut and dry as this booklet insists.
- Does not provide what it promises The hope was for a synthesis of the two views with solid objective biblical contextual foundation. The reality is a one sided work that never gets beyond 'complimentarianism in anything other than physical reproduction is unbiblical.' The 'evidence' comes from prooftexting, dynamic theology, and cultural relativism. I would have happy with the book if they were honest in the marketing and just flat out said it was feminist, used postmodern contextual techniques and dynamic theological evolution, but of course fewer book sales.
