Patterson’s anger may be due more to expecting more from Evans, who is (I believe) rather well-respected.

It’s rare to see such a negative review – although it may not fulfill its intended purpose: more people are sure to buy the book for the laugh factor alone now.

Do the believers among bible scholars really cause such a fuss? Patterson seem rather angry.
