Paul,
 
I agree sometimes his observations were insightful, but they were not always scholarly.

Hey David,
Yes I've read this book.  I thought it was pretty good.  I
especially like his interpretation of the story of Jacob tricking
his blind father Isaac, then being tricked himself, and then in the
end when Jacob is blind he learns from his experiences.  Sometimes
the book is a little simplistic.  It's not that scholarly, but
there is some really good stuff in there.  I would encourage every
blind person interested in the Bible and blindness to read it.
Paul
Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.
