Revelation is fascinating, unsettling, and somehow responsible for an Iron Maiden album and that uneasy feeling you get when you see the number 666. Reading Revelation Without Hurting Yourself (or Others) is a guided tour through one of the most misunderstood, misused, and frankly strange books in Scripture.

You will not get pulled into conspiracy theories or buried under impenetrable theological jargon. Instead, you will learn six simple rules that change how the book reads from start to finish, and make a case that what John actually wrote is more interesting, more beautiful, and more relevant than most prophecy charts suggest.

You will probably make it out fine.
