Revelation as a lost book

How could anyone not want to read the rest of John Frye's essay after this introduction:

When a curious form of theology turned the Book of Revelation into a flow chart of "end times" scenarios, a primary source for spiritual formation for the church to survive, even thrive under "empire" was lost. The last book of the Bible has become, for all intents and purposes, a lost book of the Bible.

The essay gets better as it goes along.
