Title: What's the joke?
Product review: Garner concludes his analysis of the book of Revelation (in particular) by correlating its vision with the persecution of Christians under Nero. This banal and misdirected exegesis eases his conscience over having to take the myriad of apocalyptic visions of the scriptures (Isaiah 24-27, Jeremiah 30, Psalm 83, Daniel 7-12, Zechariah 12-14, Zephaniah 3, Joel 2, Matthew 24, II Thessalonians 2, etc...) seriously. If you want to mock the scriptures, Mr. Garner, go right ahead. We live in a free country. However, there is no reason to alleviate eschatological tension by revealing that the Bible "doesn't really teach an imminent Armageddon." It does, and I don't think any honest invidual could deny it, regardless of the commentaries to be found in his library.
