ST. JOHN AND THE APOCALYPSE By FR. C. C. MARTINDALE, S.J.

Description

One of the world’s most intriguing and consequential mysteries is the hidden meaning of Holy Scripture’s book of revelation, also know as the Apocalypse. For centuries, the Christian faithful have tried–with decidedly questionable results–to decode its secrets and to understand the epic battle it foretells. In this exceptionally authoritative and insightful book Fr. C.C. Martindale elucidates the historical and theological interpretations of the Apocalypse from roman times to the present and he reflects upon the dire warnings it presents about pagan culture blasphemous societies and the apathetic believers that populate them. He outlines the structure of Revelation while reflecting upon its literary value, influences, and essence as the inspired word of God. Paper.
