The End : a Study of the Book of Revelation

According to Dr. Scott Hahn, the Greek word apocalypse was used by ancient Jews to refer to the moment, following the seven-day wedding ceremony, when the bridal couple went into the huppah, or bridal tent, and the bride removed her veil for the first time. It was the moment of unveiling when the bride revealed herself as she really was. In the same way, Dr. Hahn says the final book of the New Testament is an ultimate unveiling, the moment when the Lord of the Universe reveals Himself to His Bride, the Church.

In a dramatic Bible Study, Dr. Hahn demonstrates why this little-studied book contains many of the keys to understanding the Gospels. He explains that, for those students willing to examine the historical background to the New Testament, the Book of Revelation actually summarizes the central doctrines of Faith.

Scott outlines the four principal ways of interpreting this book by referring to: (1) past events, (2) stages in Church history, (3) future events and (4) ongoing spiritual struggles of individual Christians and the Church.
