Read it when I was a college junior. The author is a baptist and is in a relatively strongly evangelical tradition so the perspective taken is sufficiently suffocating, focusing on dumb protestant theologians. In fact he wrote a book on 20th-century theology which was as bad as possible. Overall it's not a bad "beginners book", but compared with, say Tillich's book, it's a piece of junk. It's always like that: Catholic = maybe too hard, Lutheran and some non-evangelical Reformed = good but with many absurd claims, Evangelical = dumb.
