The biblical book of Revelation can seem like such an imposing collection of incomprehensible riddles and hallucinatory writings for anyone attempting a casual reading. And of course most sermons include very selective verses for self-serving purposes and don't offer much of an overview of what's in there. This book analyses the other book's different themes, timelines, vignettes, messages, writing style, translations, historical and cultural context, and interpretations. It discusses the four principal perspectives that have been used over the centuries to try to understand this book; the futurist, the historical, the preterist and the idealist. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The book of Revelation all by itself has war, devastation, good, evil, magic and can be quite compelling without understanding it. To understand it, however, takes help. The Book of Revelation for Dummies fails for the most part in giving that help. It is indeed a book for dummies.
