I just read the Wikipedia entry. None of those would be classified as "compelling" book reviews. Read the book and get back to me. Otherwise, you really don't have an argument. In fact, one could say that maybe you are doing it wrong.David C. Lindberg, Ronald Numbers, John Morreall, David Bentley Hart, Glen Bowersock, and Mary Beard all disagreed with Freeman and gave compelling reasons for their beliefs.What? Mary Beard doesn't like the book? Oh, dear, whatever shall we do?Charles Freeman--The Closing of the Western Mind: The Rise of Faith and the Fall of Reason.
I like Charles Freeman. I will read anything he does. That's just me.The Closing of the Western Mind - Wikipedia

Get back to me when you read it, Ding.
And he always has a thick section on notes so if you want more information or want to read it for yourself you can hunt it down.
