Engaging Revelation - Hardcover

by Mark Braaten (Author)

Christians too often either avoid the book of Revelation or leave it to be interpreted by people with wild futuristic scenarios. Engaging Revelation is written in the conviction that Revelation can be read for what it is--a magnificent proclamation of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Engaging Revelation guides readers through this last book of the Bible and explains how to understand its picturesque imagery and symbols. Even more it explores how Revelation speaks a powerful word, God's word, to our time.
