Revelation is arguably the most puzzling of all the books in the Bible. To read it is to enter a bizarre world of angels, trumpets, bowls and dragons – a place where we hear songs of worship one moment and witness scenes of judgment the next. It’s also been understood in vastly different ways over the centuries. Whilst some have avoided it altogether, others have seen it as the key to unlock the ‘end times’ – often explained in painstaking detail. So, how should we make sense of the book? And what is its significance for the 21st-century church and world?
The day was led by Revd. Dr. Ian Paul, Dean of Studies and Lecturer in New Testament at St. John’s Nottingham.
This is the first of four sessions.
