The tailing is an excerpt of Thistlethwaite's review of the book. Production with Hitchens' read to biblical interpretation, she wrote:
The chapters in God is Not Absolute on biblical interpretation, "Revelation: The Joy of the second-hand Memorial" and "The fresh Memorial Exceeds the Dissoluteness of the second-hand One," are so ham-handedly literalist as to make a fundamentalist flush. I looked in the stall to be certified I hadn't missed any summit with modern biblical allow. I looked for some reference to the mind-searching biblical interpretation of "Marcus Borg," but found otherwise moral an stall reference to "Klaus Barbie." I looked for some skirmish with the solidity of allow and dash of biblical interpretation of "John Dominic Crossan", but found in the stall moral a reference to "Crusades." Feminist theology? Ignore it.
Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins carry a very simplistic read to religion. Even as they use technological crack to classify and appraise religion, they disruption to understand the charitable of "aspiration that wrestles with the contradictions and well mysteries of mortal life," as Thistlethwaite wrote.
