Revelation – Eldredge says that God talks to him directly.

At one point Garry Gilley says about the particularly ridiculous interpretation of the book of Ruth, “after all, no one else, to my knowledge, in the history of conservative biblical exegesis has ever come up with it before.” Eldredge seems to make up meanings as he goes along. Time and time and time again he assigns meanings to passages that are completely foreign to their true sense. He uses verses and passages from the Bible without giving any context simply to make it sound like this is a Biblically-based book.

Open Theism – Though Eldredge denies he is an open theist, the evidence does not support his claim.

I am going to discuss some of the more glaring errors in the book. Looking back on the copious notes I took during my reading I am glad to say that he and I picked up on many of the same things. Garry Gilley of Southern View Chapel and Think on These Things Ministries has released a two-part review of it and does an excellent job of writing about the multitude of errors.
