The Book of Revelation: With Dr. Craig Koester

A study of the book of Revelation is one of the most engaging ventures in biblical studies. Curosity is fed by the popular use of Revelation in print, film, and other media. Elaborate theological schemes have been imposed on Revelation in order for the events of history and current crises to seem to make sense in God's great plan.
 
Over six podcasts, Dr. Craig Koester will guide your through the visions of Revelation and emphasize the centrality of God and Christ who hold our future. Some of the images are disturbing and others are encouraging, but when read together, the visions continue to point us to the God who has created us and the Lamb who redeems us by his blood.  When Revelation awakens a renewed sense of faith and hope in its readers, it is haveing the effect for which it was written.
