His work won't satisfy people who are looking for academic rigor
This sounds like a group of books that I have begun to call in my own mind pop-theology. It is a class of literature that seems to be more concerned with fostering thinking than knowledge - I don't know if this is applicable to this particular work as I have not read it, your mention just brought this to mind. The problem is that most people cannot discern the lack of academic rigor and simply accept all that they have to say as substantiated and True.
