Quotations for the abstract edit
As far I understand it, no quotations are required for the abstract. It treats the book as a primary source. It is not a review or a critical commentary and passes no value judgments upon the book. The book itself is being quoted, and the views expressed therein are literal readings of the book (no other form of interpretation involved). I only mentioned stuff which is (a) interesting (as in producing surprise to those who have not studied the Bible) and (b) can be easily rendered in a few words.

Fringe author edit
Robert Sungenis is fringe according to http://fringewatcher.blogspot.nl/2008/05/robert-sungenis-vs-bishop-rhoades-and.html Tgeorgescu (talk) 18:18, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Blogs are not reliable sources. And opinionating by tendentious phrases is not the Wikipedia way, we have 1000 of personal opinions outside WP but when editing, we're neutral and objective. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 12:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sungenis is a Catholic and his own bishop calls him fringe. Sungenis takes Catholic traditionalism to such extremes that he has upset some of the Catholic clergy, like being admonished not to use the word "Catholic" for his apologetic endeavors. Tgeorgescu (talk) 18:38, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Bad structure, editor opinions to be removed! edit
The lede should:
- 1. describe the book, perhaps a compacted version of the "abstract", the
- 2. the Jessica Warner opinion should come after the description,
(I'll shuffle a little myself)
- 3. the abstract shouldn't be there,
- 4. statements such as "fringe catholics" makes subjective statements about sources, and shouldn't be used in Wikipedia.
