Revelation revelations
We’re about to delve into the book of Revelation in our Keukabiblia Bible study. It’s probably the book of the Bible that has received the worst treatment. (By the way, it’s the book of Revelation—not Revelations.) We’ll be using as a companion Bruce Metzger’s Breaking the Code.
It’s understandable why this book so often gets mishandled and basically looks like the storyline for a horror movie. Apocalyptic literature has dramatic and vivid imagery. (“Apocalypse” itself means “uncovering,” “unveiling,” or “revelation.”) That’s why it lends itself so easily to misunderstanding and mistreatment.
Isn’t it interesting how a revelation can be so obscure?

Well worth your while. We've been using the PW Horizons Bible Study by Barbara Rossing on Sunday mornings at North Pres, Williamsville this summer (men and women) and having a great time.
