Q.


Was the book of Revelation written in code?


Suggested Questions for Further Discussion/Thought



  1. What is the overall message of Revelation to you?

  2. Why do Protestants and Catholics seldom preach on this book?

  3. How can the violent imagery (e.g., Rev. 19) be read as a subversion of
    violence rather than support for it?

  4. If Revelation was part of a larger genre of apocalyptic work, why was
    it declared canonical (part of the Bible) while other apocalyptic texts
    were not?
