The Apocalypse of Saint John
by Emil Bock

Few people read the last, culminating book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelation or Apocalypse of Saint John.. It is often regarded as dealing in harsh, mysterious language, with problems of the early Christian Church, which are now irrelevant. However, Emil Bock shows how the whole Bible helps us to interpret Saint John's rich, concentrated pictorial language and how through these powerful images we can then see the great challenges of current and future human spiritual development.

This book is much more than a detailed commentary on the Apocalypse; it is a profound and encouraging examination of the present and future spiritual needs of mankind, which shows that in the Revelation to John we can find an understanding of the being of Christ as leader of mankind and as one who is essential to the evolutionary progress of humanity.
