‘The ghastly example of Hal Lindsay’s book... shows that the attempt to use the Bible as a user’s manual for the future is fraught with danger....’

‘...The idea that the Bible provides a template for history as it can be written is pretty thoroughly discredited by all the attempts that have been made to apply that template.’*

I wish I knew which book;** and, particularly, what attempts.

*Andrew Brown, Faith & Reason, ‘The stories that history cannot tell’, Ind[ependent(?)] 900519, p17.

**(The Late Great Planet Earth, perhaps?)
