Revelation is unavailable, but you can change that!

Seasoned New Testament scholar and popular speaker Peter Williamson interprets Revelation within the living tradition of the Church for pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students alike. His faithfully Catholic exposition is supplemented by features to help readers understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively in teaching, preaching, evangelization, and other forms of ministry.

Repent! The Greek word for “repent,” metanoeō, literally means “to change one’s mind—one’s attitude or mentality.” In the New Testament it is found especially in the preaching of John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles, where it refers to a radical change of direction, turning from sin to faith in God (see Catechism 1427). Although this word appears most often in the New Testament in relation to initial conversion, it also refers to repentance in the course of Christian life (2 Cor 7:9–11; 12:21).
