This needs the print text
I suspect that it may have been a step too far to record this as an audiobook when much if it is incomprehensible to an ordinary interested reader. Verbal logic is one thing, but the algebraic formulae involved in too much of this work is almost certain to over-tax the intellect if anyone without total recall and a degree in higher mathematics. For this reason alone I am obliged to commend the reader.
Thus writer had to give up, having tried hard with a number of topics that would have been helpful had they been formulated in words: it is not to be expected that a listener will be able or willing to navigate back and forth in a very complex article, to be reminded of what any symbol is intended to represent; neither is it reasonable to expect the listener to go back every time a passage or formula eludes their understanding on first hearing.
Moreover, what is comprehensible in words appears to be if such a conservative nature that brought into question whatever may have happened to the Blackwell brand and its reputation for balance and academic excellence.
No doubt the printed edition of this work has its place in the philosophy of religion but it is impossible to imagine any print-handicapped person if whatever depth of intellect who might be likely to benefit from thus misguided project.
Regrettably, I must advise listeners to avoid even attempting to get in terms with thus audiobook, whatever the value of the original, and whatever good intentions brought about its recording.
