Description

The Book of Revelation (The Apocalypse of John) is arguably the most perplexing book of the New Testament, full of strange visions and confusing images, many of which are disturbing to read. Those who brave its pages are usually left bewildered, unsure what to make of it, and questioning what benefits or dangers it offers the contemporary world. Perhaps this is why Revelation often remains either neglected or misunderstood, despite its significance in Christian history, its influence on popular culture, and its vital importance for the church today. This course will follow the book chapter by chapter, working through the whole text, examining its historical context, literary shape, and theological significance.
