Does the book of Revelation describe in veiled language events of its writer's own day, or is it largely a prophecy of events still to come? In this revised BST volume, Michael Wilcock lifts the curtain on Revelation as a drama in eight scenes, highlighting the role of the imagination in grasping this fascinating and enigmatic book.
