https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83028896465

As a guide, we will be using a text book called “Revelation and the End of All Things,” written by Rev. Craig R. Koester who is the Professor of New Testament studies at Luther Seminary (ELCA).

ELCA Pastor, Mark Allan Powell, writes that “In a sense, to “interpret” this book is to misinterpret it, for often the appeal is to the imagination; it’s a book to be experienced, not explained.” Come, experience the Book of Revelation with us!
