Cited for this book
Orr taught in Glasgow, wrote for The Fundamentals, and went at the critical case where it is weakest — not its readings but its assumption. The developmental ladder was imported from comparative religion and never argued for from the text, and a theory that redates its evidence whenever the evidence disagrees is not being tested by anything.
Moves learned
