Query: What is the purpose of this book?

Much of my reaction to this book has already been anticipated by other reviewers. In short, I can't figure out why this book was written. It lacks the thoroughness of White's very good book, Is the Mormon My Brother?, and so is useless to the apologist. On the other hand, it's too detailed in many places to be accessible to the average pew-sitter. It seems as if Mr. White couldn't decide what audience he was trying to reach. The sad result is an awkward amalgamation of breezy explanation and in-depth exegesis.There are far better books explaining and defending the Trinity out there - both for scholars and lay alike. Spend your money on them.
