Revelation: Beyond the Cross: A Guide to Interpreting and Understanding Revelation

by Dennis LaValley

A deep shroud of mystery surrounds the book of Revelation, and it lends itself to a wide variety of interpretations. Its style and symbolism intimidate us and leave us bewildered; yet there is a thread of continuity and strength permeating its pages. Not just another book on Revelation, Dennis LaValley's Beyond the Cross cuts through layers of poor translation and error to solve the problems presented by hundreds of years of misinformation. In a conversational style, LaValley writes to reveal Revelation's true the full, vivid story of Jesus's return to heaven after his ministry on Earth. Through meticulous research, LaValley places Revelation back in the Bible, endows it with the authority of Scripture, and shows its relevance to the other books of the Bible and to the first-century Christian. He breaks down Revelation chapter by chapter and interprets the visions and symbols in accordance with the principles of apocalyptic literature using Scripture, not opinion. Beyond the Cross shatters the bonds of tradition and superstition and strips away the mystery to reveal the pure and simple truth of the Gospel.
