The Use and Misuse of the Apocalypse
A level-headed and informed-yet-readable guide to making sense of the
strangest book in the Bible. The book of Revelation seems very odd to
modern readers and has been interpreted in some strange ways over the
centuries. Jon Newton guides readers through curious interpretations
past and present and explains where they go wrong. In particular, the
massively influential interpretations of the Left Behind novels and Hal
Lindsay are tested and found wanting. But, more than exposing
misunderstandings of the book, Newton is concerned to persuade readers
that Revelation is profoundly relevant today when read responsibly.
