Essays on Revelation

The book of Revelation perennially provokes outlandish futurist predictions proven patently false over time. Such prophecy failures leave the inquiring mind with a strong sense that the book of Revelation is nothing but a hoax safely ignored and without contemporary relevance. The inevitable practical result not only for church members but for their ministers as well is a canonical book stripped bare of canonical authority. In this volume six contributors collectively attempt to provide a path toward recanonizing Revelation reclaiming its authority and relevance through christological foundations. The result is a book not only useful in the collegiate and seminary classroom but also for serious small-group Bible studies wanting to glean from Revelation something deeper than a fear of being left behind.
