Talbert's "The Apocalypse: A Reading of the Revelation of John" (1994, Westminster John Knox Press).<BR/><BR/>I'm basing the Bible study on this book, but I wrote a workbook thingy for the class. Talbert's book is very understandable for someone familiar with ancient literature, and stources (e.g., Eusebius, Tertullian, Josephus, etc.). But it can be kind of confusing for lay people. But's it definately worth getting and it's still possible to understand it, it just takes some work to sift through the citations in the text.cruz-controlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356303757136562577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21462924.post-1160115895859637522006-10-06T01:24:00.000-05:002006-10-06T01:24:00.000-05:00Sounds like a bible study I'd like to be a part of...Sounds like a bible study I'd like to be a part of. Shame I'll be so far away (not that I've ever been to Texas, but no matter). I've always been curious about the book and even read it a few times when I was younger to try and make sense of it, but it was a reading colored most heavily by the Left Behind novels, and after my reading, I never quite saw what they saw. So I gave up on it, hoping someday I'd start to understand it ... so far, nada.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504548881017531837noreply@blogger.com
