Here’s an opportunity. Interested in reading the draft of my book on the Apocalypse of John (tentatively titled: Expecting Armageddon)? I’m giving people the chance to do it as a fundraising effort for the blog. As most of you probably know, I’m now finishing up the book.

I will be arguing that this view is absolutely wrong and sometimes (literally) disastrous. Read by Petra Ortiz
