G. K. Beale
The heart of the biblical understanding of idolatry, argues Gregory Beale, is that we take on the characteristics of what we worship. Employing Isaiah 6 as his interpretive lens, Beale demonstrates that this understanding of idolatry permeates the whole canon, from Genesis to Revelation. Beale concludes with an application of the biblical notion of idolatry to the challenges of contemporary life.

Great content, poor narration

I have now listened to this THREE times and I'm fairly certain that I will listen to it a few more. This book is not just about the topic of idolatry but also how insidious it is and how we fall prey to it. I imagine that many people who listen to (or read) it might think that they don't have this problem. However, the author (G.K.Beale) spells out just how often this sin creeps into our lives
There are some remarks about the narration. I considered the difficulty of the material and decided that the narration is excellent. It didn't take me long to become used to his cadence and I appreciated his devotion to the reading.
Very thought provoking and humbling

Narration
I nearly quit listening to this book because of the narration! It was unbelievably choppy. My nine-year-old daughter, who overheard me listening to this book, asked me if the narrator was a robot (and that was at nearly a 2X speed)! It feels like, every couple of words and the narrator encounters a period. To be fair, I know that reading a more technical book out loud is a challenge, usually forcing a narrator to read slowly. This is why we have variable listing speeds, which are a huge blessing. However, even at 1.7X speed, this was still a painful listening experience. Increasing the speed helped, but the narrator still had the choppiest reading cadence I have ever encountered. Here is an actual sentence from the book with punctuation reflecting the narrator's cadence (The beginning of chapter 4, chosen at random for the purpose of fair representation): "Four: The origin, of idolatry. In. The Old Testament. Though, Genesis 4, does not, explicitly label, Adam. and Eve's sin, as, idolatry. We must investigate further, whether, or not, the concept. of idolatry, is present, there." I kid you not; this is how the whole book goes.
Summary
Overall, the content is great, but the narration is challenging to listen to.
