Query: Great education in how not to study the Bible

I got this book on a whim to see what the justification for the author's viewpoint was and found that there was none. His use of scripture and his interpretation of it is based on English translation that often does not represent the meaning in the original. His parallels are poorly derived and his understanding of the Bible is questionable. He makes leaps in the 'symbolic' explaination of what scripture means without any Biblical foundation or scriptural parallel (let scripture interpret scripture)--instead he does his best to explain his own viewpoint with multiple, out-of-context, poorly researched passages. The one star this gets is for entertainment only--and the fact that there is no way to give zero stars.
