Anywho, I just finished it. Overall, I liked it. John seems to have established some kind of panentheistic humanism that is way ahead of its time. I will grant that I was a little dissapointed on his answer to the problem of evil, but then again, I guess indeterminism has not really been conceived of properly yet. He went with the privation and perversion explaination of Augustine, blaming our evil wills. Of course that leads us to ask where the evil wills come from to which he throws up his hands and says he doesn't know.
I found the fact that he would even open salvation to the devil himself to be different from what I would expect in this time period.
One thing I did find interesting was his idea that God experiences past present and future at the same time.
