John’s Patmos Encounter

Most discussions of Revelation focus on the seven letters or the prophecy, or both, with little attention given to the first chapter. In this book, the author looks intently at the first chapter of Revelation, in which John describes his encounter with the risen and glorified Lord Jesus Christ. Using various Scriptures and illustrations from life, she explores how John’s salutation and doxology, which include implications about the Triune God, and his narrative, which describes the figure who appeared to him on the isle of Patmos, are relevant to today’s Christian.
