What is the author of the Book of Revelation saying to readers in A.D. 95? What is the message for us today?

Charles Chapman, an Episcopal priest, leads the reader phrase by phrase behind the "scenes" of the Book of Revelation, explaining in clear, direct, no-nonsense terms what a hundred years of study have discovered about the book.

Offering only interpretations that can be supported by the text, faithful to two thousand years of teaching by the Church, Father Chapman reveals the Book of Revelation to be an inspiring, hope-filled, musical portrayal of the triumph of Christ and of his followers over the powers of evil.

The Rev. Charles T. Chapman, Jr., raised and educated as a Southern Baptist, joined the Episcopal Church in 1980 and was ordained a priest in 1987. He holds degrees from Union University and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with further training at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest.
