Why Evangelical Scholarship is Lame

I just read an Evangelical big dawg commentary on Revelation. I will paraphrase the best part like this: “Some commentators see Babylon’s clothing as referring to the High Priest’s garments. However, it could just as easily be referring to the King of Tyre as he is portrayed as Adam in Eden. Therefore we cannot arrive at a clear conclusion…”

It had apparently never occurred to this commentator that the description of the King of Tyre in Ezekiel was an intentional reference to the High Priest.

I scream a lot when I read this sort of stuff.
