Revelation CATHERINE GONZÁLEZ AND JUSTO CONZALEZ Few books of the Bible have had a reversal of fortune like that of Revelation. Written to offer comfort, to aid those trying to under stand their faith, and to be read aloud in church, Revelation is viewed by many readers today as shrouded in mystery and rite with elusive symbolism. Yet, as Catherine and Justo González point out, we are not as far from the situation about which John writes as our, wo die we might think.
