Carl's latest post at Ref21 betrays a fundamental lack of understanding regarding the game of football (and by "football" I mean the real sport played by large...
The Use of Daniel in Jewish Apocalyptic Literature and in the Revelation of St. John by Greg Beale. Okay, so it probably won't sell as many copies as Your Best Life Now .
