The book points out that bats are not to be feared as they are not dangerous as described by myth; however, the book fails to warn children that bats do carry disease and downed bats should never be picked up. Although some downed bats are fallen young, others may be sick with Rabies.
Teachers/Parents: The danger myths about bats is a good introduction to the topic of myths in general.

While it is not an absolutely complete treatment of the topic it is quite thorough. It is more than an introduction to be sure. The scripture index in the book made it a ready reference to assist with understanding any difficult passage. This index alone is 17 pages long.
The book deals with each genre of literature found in the Bible, the languages of the original texts, apparent contradictions between scripture and science as well as an excellent history of the interpretation of scripture. I think this last part is needed to give us a clearer perspective as we approach the sacred writings. This history also offers us a dose of humility as we realize Christians of years not yet come will likely scratch their heads to figure out how we arrived at some of our interpretations.
This better is better than three seminary text books on the subject combined, yet any layman can harvest the wealth of information contained therein.
