I love Peanuts, so I was super excited to read this book. Unfortunately, the name and description led me to believe the book would be very different than it was. I imagined the author would examine the comic strips of Peanuts and show the kind of biblical/theological stories being told through these parables. Instead, the book was primarily about the author's own theological thoughts, and Peanuts strips were picked out to illustrate his points. I'm also not sure I agree with some of the primary arguments. However, the writing was engaging, and it was fun to re-read the Peanuts strips sprinkled throughout.
