A Response: “A Biblical Guide to Revelation” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this series, we’re going to be going through a study guide I downloaded one morning. There was an ad on my daily lectionary email (I use this because it’s a lot easier than looking it up every day) and I clicked on it by mistake.
