Revelations: Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation

An exploration of the history of the controversial biblical book places Revelations in a historical first-century context, reinterpreting the book as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome that was subsequently adopted by early Christians as a weapon against heresy. By the best-selling author of Beyond Belief. Reprint. 100,000 first printing.
