In a clear, concise fashion the author unfolds the significance and message of the book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse. At one and the same time he refutes many of the fundamentalistic beliefs about the book and presents an intelligent, accurate interpretation of the Apocalypse that is in accord with the latest data of biblical scholarship. It answers the basic questions, “How does one interpret the Apocalypse?”, “Who is the beast?”, “Is there such a thing as rapture?”, “How do I know that this is a book of hope and not of woe?”, “What are the meanings of the numbers used in the book?” This work will no doubt become the standard introductory text for adults on this fascinating and important topic.
