Thank you for this, it will make a very interesting read. I am very glad to see Preterism [1] being highlighted, as to most the "Left Behind" end time theology must seem ubiquitous within Christianity. I especially like the description of Revelation as a sort of Michael Bay movie, full of vivid imagery; an apt analogy. I'm wary of the author's assertion that "Revelation is essentially an anti-Christian polemic" but I'll have to read it to make any further judgment on that.
