The title is misleading in that there really is no effort to "break a code". The biggest problem I had with the book is that it failed to include critical references to other relevant scriptures. My position is that the book of Revelation really answers a number of questions that are raised earlier in the New Testament. I would be happy to provide examples if other members are interested. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The Book of Revelation contains passages of great beauty and comfort, as well as passages that strike the casual reader as bizarre, bewildering, and sometimes frightening. How are readers today to discern God's message in this peculiar part of the Bible?Breaking the Code provides a trustworthy guide to the rich symbolism of this important biblical book. Noted biblical scholar Bruce M. Metzger presents the fruits of solid scholarship in a non-academic style. Breaking the Code serves as a key for understanding this powerful and puzzling book from the first century of the Christian Era.

This book is broad but not deep; do not look to this book to provide in-depth explanations but instead a general overview of the main themes of the images of Revelation. For its purposes an excellent book to consider when studying Revelation. ( )
