Chapter Problems in JVG?

Has anyone else had a problem such as the following in Jesus and the Victory of God?

Today I was reading along and told that I could find more of what I was interested in should I be so kind to turn to ch. 13. Chapter 13 was not so helpful, and I began to wonder whether the chapter number had been misassigned.

Later, I was reading along and he said that the notion of Jesus as Coming King would be addressed in ch. 12. But then I noticed that ch. 13 is entitled, “The Return of the King.”

It got me to thinking that maybe somewhere along the line there were a couple chapters flip-flopped or else perhaps an extra chapter was added that messed up the enumeration. Then it got me to thinking that if anyone else had experienced similar difficulties then we probably both have spent way too much time with this particular book. Anybody want to own up to it?

I’m sure that many of my scholar friends have had their own problems with JVG: exegetical, theological, editorial, and otherwise. Feel free to talk about that here as well. Whatever. It’s your blog.
