Description

An accessible introduction to one of the Bible's least understood books. In Conversations with Scripture: Revelation, Frederick W. Schmidt explores the approaches that have dominated the interpretation of John's Apocalypse and offers the reader an accessible means of understanding and evaluating them. With this grounding in hand, Schmidt explores how Revelation can shape our understanding of God, and nurture our spiritual lives in unexpected ways.
