This edition covers the Johannine literature— Revelation, the Gospel, and the Epistles—and tackles all the perplexing issues the Book of Revelation presents: the strange creatures, the numbers 666 and 144,000, the Millennium, and so-called “futuristic prophecy.” The detailed exegesis of the original Greek also explains enigmatic phrases in the Gospel, such as “the Word was God” and the “Word became flesh,” along with curiosities such as Jesus’ betrayal and burial in a garden. The author also postulates that the head of the Johannine School is none other than Mark, the author of the earliest Gospel. An explanation of the Johannine literature based solely on the biblical texts.

The Bible was born and shaped in a community of faith. They understood Scripture to be an essential element of Holy Tradition: the apostolic witness passed down and developed into what would become the body of Orthodox doctrine. It begins with a discussion of the aims and methods of biblical interpretation as they were developed among the Greek Fathers. The second section introduces the reader to the ancient literary form known as “chiasmus” and emphasizes the importance of a proper “chiastic” reading to reveal the “literal” meaning of the text. The final section raises crucial issues regarding doctrines of the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, from the perspectives of the divisive question of the filioque and the relevance of the Nicene Creed.
