Our church has been struggling with this debate for many years. I've found most authors write with an agenda in mind and publishers seem to favor printing extreme views (perhaps it sells more books). Geisler's agenda seems to be balance and logic.As a pastor, this book has helped me prep for my ordination council and work through more critical areas of theology. I highly recommend it along with Norman Geisler's exhaustive volumes on systematic theology (vol 1-3).
