What if the Book of Revelation wasn’t written to predict the modern world—but to decode the political fears, symbols, and crises of the ancient Roman world?
The Book of Revelation is a famous text about the End Times. But it is also a very confusing text! Join us for a guided examination of it.
Join us for an online course about the Book of Revelation, one of the most fascinating and debated books of the New Testament.
Guided by scholar of early Christianity Dr. Andrew Mark Henry, we will examine the historical and political context of Revelation, offering attendees a comprehensive understanding of the time period, the authorship, and the circumstances when it was written. We will also examine the scholarly interpretations of some of the key visions in the text, including the ominous meaning of the number 666 and the Mark of the Beast.
