@molly0xfff I recognize this genre of literature - this is the kind of book that hardcore Christian writers write for other hardcore Christians to read so that everyone involved can feel comfortable knowing that they're right and everyone else is wrong. It's not intended to convince an outsider to believe as it is to shore up the belief of a believer who is starting to doubt.

Quote from the article at citationneeded.news "I was left wondering: who is this book for? It's certainly not written to convince the skeptics, for whom Dixon's disdain is made quite clear. And the dearth of citations or even the briefest of arguments to support the many bold claims Dixon presents as though they are fact suggest it's not for any but the most uncritical of fence-sitters, who are willing to accept Dixon's statements at face value. It seems to me that Dixon's target audience must just be the believers: the people who are already convinced, and want little more than a book to nod along to."
