Synopsis
This book, an exploration of the historical and spiritual implications of the Apocalypse, an ancient text attributed to John the Evangelist, delves into its prophecies regarding Babylon, a powerful entity portrayed as a woman seated on a beast. The author examines the idea that Babylon serves as a metaphor for the city and church of Rome, with its seven hills and dominion over kings. The text draws parallels between the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the prophecies in the Apocalypse concerning Babylon, seeking evidence that the corrupt religious power represented by Babylon aligns with the historical actions of the Roman Catholic Church. The author explores the complex symbolism and allegories of the Apocalypse, presenting a thought-provoking interpretation of its visions and prophecies, examining themes of power, corruption, and redemption within the context of Christian history.

About the Author
Christopher Wordsworth (1807-85), the "Great Christopher" of Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge, was a nephew of William the poet, and brother to Charles, the student who launched the University Boat Race. In 1832, Christopher took a gap-year, after his brilliant studies in ancient Greek and Latin classics, to travel back in time over two thousand years to Pericles' Athens. The account of his tour, Athens and Attica (1836), is still the perfect scholarly companion to the history, topography, and myths of an area compact in dimension yet vast in terms of its contribution to Western civilization.
