The Vision We Forget: A Layman's Reading of the Book of the Revelation of St. John the Divine (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vision We Forget: A Layman's Reading of the Book of the Revelation of St. John the Divine
Hen I wrote The Christ We Forget and The C hmch We F orget, I had only the usual distant acquaintance with The Vision We Forget. I was fa miliar with certain favourite passages in the Book of Revelation, but that was all. It was with a certain zest, therefore, that I began to read this book as a whole, with my own eyes and nobody else's, and I soon found that I was in touch with a supreme product, whatever more it may be, of the human mind, There are doubt less innumerable treatises on the Apocalypse which I ought to have studied, and I did try one or two, but I found them less interesting than the Book itself and sometimes more perplexing. On prophetic systems, any opinion from me would be valueless, but in John of Patmos I greet one who seems to have compre hended this world in which somehow I have to live. As a father to a child, he tells me how the Christ he remembered looks at things here and now - what part the Christ plays in our diama - what greater part He will play when the time comes. I have no idea how John cameto put on paper much that I have read. All I know is that John's words are there. And the words fit facts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book lifts the lid on the Biblical insights into the challenges of current times by investigating a frequently ignored book of the Bible: The Apocalypse of John. The Apocalypse, often perceived as a perplexing and alien text, is revealed as a work in harmony with the rest of scripture, a document that breathes life and peace into the chaos of our world. The author argues that in order to navigate confusion and upheaval, it is vital to perceive Christ's living presence in the struggles and successes of every day. The book draws rich connections between ancient and modern culture to reveal that this visionary text illuminates not only early Christianities but provides profound guidance for understanding of current events and social trends. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
