This study is an attempt to bring together a wide variety of different topics. I have wanted to pull these together for a long time but couldn't find a way do discuss them without sounding conspiratorial. Fortunately Dr. Michael Heiser gave a presentation at the 2013 Future Congress conference. The presentation was entitled "Thinking Theologically About the Utopian Impulse as a Perversion of the Judeo-Christian Worldview.
This presentation was exactly what I needed. Dr. Heiser was gracious enough to allow me to use his presentation as the outline/framework of this study. As a point of clarification, much of the material in each individual section was added by me and may not be presented in a way that Dr. Heiser would agree with. His material primarily the framework and items here and there.
If you are not familiar with the work of Dr. Heiser I would highly suggest checking out his Naked Bible Podcast and his website. He brings a unique perspective to the Christian marketplace of ideas.
