Dr. Mark Matson has accomplished something radical in New Testament studies. Most scholars I know are not ready to entertain this revolution in the study of the Gospel of Luke (LK). In this careful and detailed work, Dr. Matson shows that the writer of LK had the Gospel of John (JN) in his hands, and borrowed liberally from JN. In fact, Dr. Matson supplies more than 100 examples where LK and JN agree against the agreements of the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. LK-ACTS was the last of our Gospels -- not the middle. Thank you, Dr. Matson.

Very few books on the JFK Assassination go into the depth of objective analysis as this book by Dr. Caufield. Rather than blame the CIA for everything, Dr. Caufield carefully makes a solid case (following Jim Garrison's earliest work) that LHO was a fake leftist working for Guy Banister in New Orleans -- and continued to do so in Mexico City. LHO's original goal was to assassinate Fidel Castro. Yet LHO got in over his head in Dallas, where he became an unwitting pawn in a much larger game than he ever dreamed. Although this book is about 900 pages long, it's quite inexpensive. Highly recommended for serious students of US history.

The 1st half of this book is sheer *genius*. I recommend it to all would-be readers of GWF Hegel. Ilyenkov in 1977 told scholarship how to approach Hergel -- start with Kant, Fichte and Schelling. Ilyenkov offers excellent summaries of all their complex ideas. This short section is worth the price of admission. . The 2nd half of this book drags the topic down to the level of anti-Hegelian materialism of Marx, and IMO the Soviets "obliged" Ilyenkov to add the obviously doctrinaire 2nd half . It doesn't logically follow the brilliant 1st half. . In conclusion, if the reader wants a quick and brilliant introduction (and only an introduction) to the Dialectical Logic of Hegel, and is willing to spend full price for half of this gem -- go for it. I was glad that I did back in 1977 when it first came out.
