   false advertising
So, we're reading a collection of essays concerning the Book of Revelation that is supposed to be scholarly and not literal. Well, the one I just finished reading used Revelation as a way to explain that the US is evil and the beast and that all Christians in America are false Christians. There are so many different levels in which this text was offensive, but one of the ones that I did not mention in my short reaction to it (required by the professor) was how it was false advertising. The piece was not good exegesis, it is blatant eisegesis. The guy wants to prove that the US government is to blame for all the ills of Latin America, and he uses the text of Revelation to do so, I do not consider this good scholarly work and I deem it harmful to the ecumenical world. >_<******

Just wanted to blow off yet more steam.

'Til next time...

I love you Batman. @}~~',~~
