An Introduction to Revelation: A Pathway to Interpretation (Biblical Studies) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The interpretation of the book of Revelation has always aroused controversy; and its use (and abuse) during periods of rapid change has often been a cause for great concern. Revelation is an awe-inspiring book full of both promise and doom, and readers can, to some extent, choose what they find there. In an extreme example, both the Waco and the 'Heaven's Gate' groups incorporated elements from Revelation into their own ideologies. This volume, intended for students of biblical studies, attempts a responsible reading of Revelation. Gilbert Desrosiers presents the reader with both the tools and the information required to understand the many approaches that may be taken to interpreting the book, and leads the reader towards a sound interpretation.
