A History Of The End Of The World

How The Most Controversial Book In The Bible Changed The Course Of Western Civilization

BY JONATHAN KIRSCH

Brief Description:
Ever since Revelation was first preached as the revealed word of Jesus Christ, it has haunted and inspired hearers and readers alike. Its mysterious author never considered that his sermon on the impending end times would last beyond his own life but his demonization of his enemies, his sanctification of revenge taking, and the notion that history must end in catastrophe, subsumed into the New Testament, can be detected in some of the worst atrocities and excesses of every age, including our own. For all of these reasons we ignore the book of Revelation, at our own peril.
