London, OH Author Publishes Book on the Bible

Topics in the Book of Revelation, a new book by William R. Horsley, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

What is the Book of Revelation? Is it a prophecy foretelling the end of the world? Is it a vision of the apocalypse? If Hollywood and a certain subset of preachers are to be believed, John's final message to Christians is one only of doom and destruction. But what if the real message was one of hope? What if Revelation was less foresight and more history? How would you look at the final book of the Bible if you could read it and feel overjoyed rather than frightened?

In Topics in the Book of Revelation, William R. Horsley presents definitive arguments for a reinterpretation of John's writings. Rather than a warning meant to resound throughout history, Horsley shows that John was writing primarily to the early church and its people using language and symbols that would have been familiar to them. Revelation carries a message of hope to all Christians. Horsley sees lessons to Christians to be encouraged, faithful and victorious to the end. The way is right, and worthy is the Lamb!
