This volume in the popular series of the "Ignatius Catholic Study
Bible" covers the three letters of St. John and the Book of
Revelation (or Apocalypse). The three Johannine letters are
explored first, with ample notes and reflections representing the
best of contemporary and traditional scholarship and commentary.
The largest portion of this volume is devoted to the Revelation to
John, also called the Book of Revelation and the Apocalypse (from
the Greek, meaning "unveiling").
Written in highly symbolic style, the Revelation to John is
perhaps the most difficult book of the Bible to understand.
Scholars have long debated whether the book is concerned mainly
with a symbolic depiction of the struggle of good against evil or
whether it applies to specific events in history-its own time, the
general course of Church history, or the end of the world. The
annotations and commentary on this volume draw on the best elements
from each approach, while emphasizing the biblical author's
immediate intention: to recount the heavenly vision he received as
it applied to his own time. Modern scholarship, as well as insights
from the Church Fathers and other classic commentators, help the
reader make sense of what many people regard as a confusing
book.
The "Ignatius Catholic Study Bible" includes Topical Essays,
Word Studies and Charts. Each page features an easy-to-use
Cross-Reference Section. Study Questions are provided for each
biblical book, which can be used for personal or group study of the
Word of God. Each biblical book includes an introductory essay
covering questions of authorship, date, destination, structure and
themes. Also included are outlines of each book.
The text of the "Ignatius Catholic Study Bible" is the Revised
Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.
