The anti-Christ. The Battle of Armageddon. The dreaded Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The last book in the Bible has fascinated readers for centuries.
Elaine Pagels, one of the world’s leading biblical scholars, first read Revelation as a teenager. She read it again in writing her latest book, “Revelations: Visions, Prophecy & Politics in the Book of Revelation.”
Pagels’ book is built around a simple question: What does Revelation mean? Her answers may disturb people who see the book as a prophecy about the end of the world.
