Synopsis
The last book of the New Testament has becomes the first wave of a new, provocative, and accurate translation of Christian scripture. And it comes from the most anceint Christian tradition, Greek Orthodox Christianity.
Orthodox Christianity is the inheritor of an unbroken transmission of Christian faith from the Apostles to the present day. The Greeks who are Orthodox Christians are the living descendants of those Christians to whom Paul first preached and wrote - in Corinth, Thessalonica, and so on. Thus Eastern Orthodoxy lays unique claim to Christianity, for it has maintained an unbroken tradition of faith for nearly 2,000 years.
We now have an orthodox Christian translation of the most famous text in the New Testament, the Apocalypse. It is faithful to the theology of those Christians to whom the New Testament was originally written. Behind its rhetoric of doom and elitist ecstasy is a powerful vision of a spiritual truth. For the first time the Greek text's profound impact can be experienced in an English translation.
You will never think of the Apocalypse in the same way again.

From the Inside Flap
The last book of the New Testament has become the first wave of a new, provocative, and accurate translation of Christian scripture. And it comes from the most ancient Christian tradition, Greek Orthodox Christianity. As Prof. Randall Balmer notes in the Preface: "Because the Eastern Christian traditions are generally overlooked in the West, the Eastern Christian understandings derived from these texts are largely unknown among Western Christians."
