A profound exploration of the Bible's most controversial book--from the author of Beyond Belief and The Gnostic Gospels
The strangest book of the New Testament, filled with visions of the Rapture, the whore of Babylon, and apocalyptic writing of the end of times, the Book of Revelation has fascinated readers for more than two thousand years, but where did it come from? And what are the meanings of its surreal images of dragons, monsters, angels, and cosmic war?
Elaine Pagels, New York Times bestselling author and "the preeminent voice of biblical scholarship to the American public" (The Philadelphia Inquirer), elucidates the true history of this controversial book, uncovering its origins and the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions. Brilliantly weaving scholarship with a deep understanding of the human needs to which religion speaks, Pagels has written what may be the masterwork of her unique career.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Penguin BooksISBN-13:9780143121633ISBN-10:143121634UPC:9780143121633Book Category:ReligionBook Subcategory:Biblical Studies, Christian Theology, Biblical Criticism & InterpretationBook Topic:New Testament, EschatologySize:7.92 x 5.38 x 0.68 inchesWeight:0.44Product ID:SC53A9VT08
