Parsih,
Dr Ruckman is a friend of mine. He sends me books and articles. But I take the meat and spit our the bones of Ruckman's fish.
I skip over his criticisms in his book where I can and they are short reads. I glean info but no his attitude. It was amazing to see in his General Epistle's Commentary he had toned down a lot of his normal scholarly criticism and the book read nicely.
he is a lot more gentler sounding in person than he comes across in his books. I suggest anyone who reads his books and has never seen him preach need to do so. it will give you better idea of the mans disposition.
hope that answers you question
