SynopsisA "humane, thoughtful, and intelligent" ( The New York Times Book Review ) bestselling Biblical scholar reveals why our popular understanding of the Apocalypse is all wrong--and why that matters. You'll find nearly everything the Bible says about the end in the Book of Revelation: a mystifying prophecy filled with bizarre symbolism, violent imagery, mangled syntax, confounding contradictions, and very firm ideas about the horrors that await us all. But no matter what you think Revelation reveals--whether you read it as a literal description of what will soon come to pass, interpret it as a metaphorical expression of hope for those suffering now, or only recognize its highlights from pop culture--you're almost certainly wrong. In Armageddon , acclaimed New Testament authority Bart D. Ehrman delves into the most misunderstood--and possibly most dangerous--book of the Bible, on a "vigilantly persuasive" ( The Washington Post ) tour through three millennia of Judeo-Christian thinking about how our world will end. With wit and verve, he explores the alarming social and political consequences of expecting an imminent apocalypse, considers whether the message of Revelation may be at odds with the teachings of Jesus, and offers inspiring insight into how to live in the face of an uncertain future. By turns hilarious, moving, troubling, and provocative, Armageddon is nothing short of revelatory in its account of what the Bible really says about the end.

A Revelation revelation
Well written, easy reading treatment of an important subject. Ehrman tells us why we should care about the book of Revelation. Our lives are different today because of what some of our leaders thought they learned from Revelation.. Well done.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
