For me language is often the atumbling block. Philosophers and theologians like naming things and don't often care if someone else used the same name in a slightly different context. Pobably the most difficult book I have, attemptedz to read was feom colege - Meaning of Christ, a Mahayana Buddhist Point of View. You basically had to learn a new language if you weren't well versed in Buddhist thought. I might give Goedel, Escher and Bach another shot at some point. But like all reading, knowing what you are getting into before you start can be a big plus.

@_jared It isnironic that one can spend more time explaining what the issue of the debate actually is than providing a response.
