Summary: | Should Christians be embarassed by the book of Revelation? The Revelation of John has long confused and disturbed readers. In The Apocalypse of John among its Critics, leading experts in Revelation confront the book's difficulties. Each chapter wrestles honestly with a question raised by the book's critics: Was John a misogynist? Does Revelation delight in violence? Can the book even be understood? Engaging deeply with Revelation's difficulties helps the reader understand the book's message--and respond rightly. The book of Revelation does not need to be avoided or suppressed. It contains words of life. -- |
