Mapping the End Times: American Evangelical Geopolitics and Apocalyptic Visions (Critical Geopolitics)

You just never know what you're going to get when reading a book about future events. This one is not the one. I admit I didn't finish it, I couldn't it was so bad.

An excellent book about our history and understanding of the end of times.

I tried to read this book because it was a gift and because of my interest in end time events. The writers are obviously very smart persons. But the use of 25 cent words that are hard to understand versus 5 cent words that communicate make the reading a tedious chore. Long paragraphs with 25 cent words is the formula for failure to communicate except for those already familiar with the subject. Example: "This chapter is concerned with these geopolitical power relations as they are aligned with American foreign policy mappings of the world and how the changing geopolitical themes present in the dispensationalist writings of Cold War evangelical authors Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, and John Walvoord are reterritorialized by post-Cold War evangelical authors Joel Rosenberg, Mark Hitchcock and Charles Dyer" page 134Any way to return for credit?
