For many Christians, there is no more intriguing and beguiling book in the New Testament than the Revelation to John. The imagery, symbolism, beauty and prophetic witness make it equally difficult to interpret and understand what our Lord is trying to communicate to His Church.
More than an almanac describing events and signs so that the Christian community can recognize the return of Christ, the Revelation to John unveils the role of the Church in the world and God’s plan of salvation that spans over centuries.
I will be leading a 10 week, in depth study of the Book of Revelation, drawing from the long tradition of Catholic interpretation: connections to the Old Testament prophets and analogical interpretations. We hope to unfold the story of God’s plan and His work to bring about the salvation of the greatest number of people and the fulfillment of the promise made in Christ.
