A Gospel Pageant: A Readers Guide to the Book of Revelation

Revelation is a strange and puzzling book! Apart from the few who are endlessly fascinated by it, most of us are not sure what to do with it. And since it seems so different from the rest of the New Testament, perhaps the safest policy is to ignore it. But what if that meant losing something really important? What if Revelation turned out to be the gospel in fancy dress - a powerful, gripping presentation of the same momentous news we find throughout the New Testament? If that were so, we run a real risk in bypassing it. Our devotion and discipleship would fail to be as rich and robust as they are meant to be. A gospel pageant? If this is what Revelation brings us, perhaps it is time to dust it off and read it again!
