When Donkeys Talk - Book Review


Title:  When Donkeys Talk
Author:  Tyler Blanski 
    Mr. Blanski gives us a different look at Christianity.  Whether you agree with him or not, you may enjoy his book.  I didn't care for his ideas, however I am sure some people will.  The book makes the oint that the medium of God's message is not important---only the message is.  An ass or an angel, it doesn't matter.  It is difficult to imagine a set of beliefs more suggestive of mental illness than those that lie at the heart of many of our religious traditions.  According to Mr. Blanski, theology is now little more than a branch of human ignorance.  I felt this book talked down to the reader in a large amount of intellectual "babble".  Many times I found myself lost in words.
