About the Book
The book of Revelation has confounded readers for nearly two millennia. Its subject matter can be extremely fearful when misunderstood and can lead to devastating consequences if manipulated. Like most eschatological matters, Church leaders, therefore, must be sensible and honest as they attempt to teach modern readers. Unfortunately, the book’s dense symbolism, literary variances, and even its uncertain past as an inspired document have led to irreconciliably diverse conclusions over which many Christians divide. Why must it be this way? This author offers a fresh approach to its narrative, focusing on how the original readers would have understood its contents along with its reflection in historical events, which should help twenty-first century readers ascertain its true meaning.
