The first half of the book was somewhat interesting because there is more information available on the primary 4 disciples. But after that, with MacArthur's typical development of a theology from one or two words, the supposition was just outright fabrication to fit his opinion. I should have expected this from him, as it is totally in line with his edited bible which I own and use but critically discount as lacking logic. The speculation that was written as fact was laughable at time to downright absurd at other times. Really, if there is not enough information to go on, just admit it and move on. Maybe change the title to Four Ordinary Men and leave it at that, or stay broad about what they did overall instead of trying to write about each one individually. Disappointing.
