The Book of Revelation For Dummies

by Larry R. Helyer

A plain-English guide to the most difficult book of the New Testament The Book of Revelation details a dream-like vision of the apocalypse-the end times that bring the tribulation, the rapture, and the second coming of Christ. It is a central text to those evangelical Christians who believe that the end times are approaching-and the inspiration for the popular Left Behind novels, which have sold more than 62 million copies. This balanced, approachable guide walks readers through the symbolism and complexity of Revelation and helps them understand the book's inspiration and significance. Exploring the various ways people have interpreted Revelation over the centuries, it shows how to grasp the enduring messages of this mysterious book and apply them in daily life.
