Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Visions and Revelations: Discourses on the Apocalypse Few books of the New Testament have so appealed to the imagination and heart of the Church as the "Revelation of St. John." In every age the Apocalypse has had its careful students, who have sought to interpret its imagery and explain its message. These writers have, for the most part, been anxious, chiefly, to shew the application of the Book to the circumstances of their own time; and it is not to be denied that the results of their ingenious toil have been often fantastic enough. Yet they have not erred in believing that the Visions of Patmos have a new significance for every age. Their mistake has been their failure, sometimes, to recognise that the pictures and sayings of the Apocalypse had an immediate contemporary meaning, and were directly addressed to men and women who had to live the Christian life under the conditions that prevailed in the Roman Province of Asia at the close of the first century of our era.
