I have the second edition of this book so my comments are directed at that volume.
<\/p>\n

What’s the Point of the Book?
\n<\/strong>When proving a point in an argument or laying out a thesis based on exegetical research, fallacies arise.
\nThey do so (sometimes) innocuously and although they may conclude with a proper
\nunderstanding they get there the wrong way. Carson’s goal is to
\ngive people a whiff of the different types of exegetical fallacies that
\ncan arise so that people can avoid them, learning to draw conclusions with
\nproper methods.<\/p>\n

The Good?<\/strong>
\nThe book is short, clocking in at 147 pages sans index. The book is
\ninexpensive: I purchased mine for about eleven bucks. Carson covers
\nfallacies in the areas of word-study, grammar, logic, presupposition
\nand history. Carson touches on several Scriptural portions and common
\nfallacies performed with them. If he uses Greek in the text (thankfully
\na legible font) he always translates it. Carson recommends plenty of
\ntitles to further personal study and even leave you hungering for more.<\/p>\n

The Bad?<\/strong>
\nI couldn’t really find any bad<\/em> in the book. The grammatical section
\nbecomes a bit medium to hard reading if you’re not versed in Greek
\ngrammar but to those that persevere you get some really great stuff
\nfrom this section. I personally read through the section a few times to
\nproperly get what he was saying and then subsequently checked to see if
\nI owned his recommended software: Gramcord<\/a> (apparently I do). Maybe the
\none bad thing is that the book was so short. His final section leaves the
\ndoor open to even more fallacies (in structuralism and literary
\ngenre) but he doesn’t dive into it because the book is purposefully not
\ncomprehensive. <\/p>\n

The Ugly?<\/strong>
\nNothing. I mean you would think it is ugly<\/em> to look at fallacies
\nperformed by peers and other authors, but the guy has zero pride about
\nit. He actually goes and tears up one of his own pieces showing the
\nfallacies he had committed. If anything were ugly I would say that the
\njacket has a horrendous design.<\/p>\n

Star Rating.
\n<\/strong>I don’t have graphics yet. And I have to come up with a sexy design
\nfor this section, but that aside I would give this book five out of
\nfive stars with a recommendation of “must-buy<\/a>”. If Carson ever comes
\nout with a comprehensive book on exegetical fallacies (impossible I
\nknow…there are a million ways to do something wrong and then a million
\nmore) I would buy it outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
