A Vision of Victory on Earth as it is in Heaven

The book of Revelation becomes a living drama of love, justice, power, and destiny as Dr. Robert McCan helps the reader understand its mystical imagery and symbolic language. Revelation is the story of how God intends to fulfill the prayer Jesus taught his disciples: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”   Dr. McCan is a modern scholar who combines a judicious skepticism with profound appreciation for scripture. He illumines the Old Testament background, the symbolic language and the prophetic voice of John, the author of Revelation. Throughout his book Dr. McCan points to the various ways the themes of Revelation have been interpreted historically and how they can be interpreted for the 21st century. At the conclusion of each chapter are questions to facilitate use of the book for individual or group Bible study.
