I heard the author of this book (new release this week) interviewed on a radio program a few days ago. He is a died-in-the-wool proponent of the views of Ayn Rand. It's frustrating that I agree with over fifty per cent of what he says (including everything he says about the free market and education), but he still comes off as a nut case.
Last week a lot of Christians got bent out of shape because of the Muslim reaction to the movie about Mohammed. From what I can tell, it probably had a good bit of truth in it, but it was poorly produced, and its spokespersons came off like nut cases.
We live in an age of sound bites and images, and careful reflection on complex ideas is getter rarer all the time. It doesn't help any of us when right ideas are espoused by nut cases. Those whom God has gifted to be able to communciate well should take the lead in expositing Biblical thinking on current issues. I recommend BreakPoint with Eric Metaxas and John Stonestreet.
