Apocalypse

by J. Daniel Hays, C. Marvin Pate

It's A.D. 95, and everybody wants a piece of the Apocalypse. Some will kill to destroy it. Others will die to protect it and to remain faithful to the One it proclaims. A storm at sea and an assassination attempt thrust a Roman senator and a wool merchant's son into a conflict between earthly powers and God's kingdom. Flavius and Antonius, both believers in Christ, are about to make a startling a mysterious scroll, written by the apostle John, that unlocks the secrets of present, past, and future. The Apocalypse---the book of Revelation. Their find comes at a time of great persecution for the early church. The Imperial Cult is spreading Caesar-worship across the Roman province of Asia, and pressure to bow down to the emperor Domitian intensifies by the day. Flavius, Antonius, and their loved ones must stake their lives on what they believe---for the Imperial Temple has learned about the Apocalypse, and they will stop at nothing to destroy it and the church it has empowered.
