However, on the other hand, if the book had been more reasonable, would you have found the time to look at it and would others?

Read the book. I haven't even started blogging on the more critical chapters yet (been sick, but will start up again later today). Like I've said, they raise some good issues and point to some legit problems, but are overstating things. The Reformation brought the critical reformation where it was most needed at the time (soteriology). The puritans brought about a revolution in the way we the church worshipped. I am not suggesting that either movements of God (yes, I do believe they were works of God) were perfect, or accomplished all the reformation that was/is needed. But because Viola's book is more melodrama than the biblical method I do not think it will leave an impact (I am thankful for this).
