This text is a theological and spiritual goldmine for personal reflection and group study.-Bruce Epperly, author of Become Fire! Guideposts for Interspiritual Pilgrims, God Online: The Mystics' Guide to the Internet, and Faith in a Time of Pandemic The Book of Revelation has been misunderstood as a book of future predictions and escape from the world-but it is actually a survival and transformation guide, written for people whose lives were threatened by the first-century system of domination.
