Companion to the Book of Revelation
Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
A guide to one of the most difficult but most rewarding books of the Bible
The last book of the Bible can also be the most intimidating and the hardest to understand. Its wide use of obscure symbols, strange numbers and bizarre imagery can leave readers perplexed and bemused. This booklet explains the tradition from which the book of Revelation developed and outlines the structure of the book and the meanings behind the numbers and images. With a basic understanding of the more difficult parts, one can go on to enjoy and benefit from the beauty and poetry of this extraordinary book inspired by the Holy Spirit.
