Revelation is, at its heart, about mysteries. Such things are best
approached in prayer, in an attitude of worship, and in
conversation with wiser souls. Joel L. Watts's approach does
exactly that, weaving a mix of liturgical prayer and scholarly
reflections together with insights from commentators both ancient
and modern.
--Gary Neal Hansen, University of Dubuque Theological Seminary,
Dubuque, IA Watts has written a beautiful, creative, and
informative book on John's Apocalypse. Watts' attention to the full
landscape of the book of Revelation, coupled with his attention to
multiple interpretive traditions, is commendable. This book will
serve faith communities and university students alike. It deserves
careful attention.
