What reading level is The Real History of the End of the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . criticizing it chapter by chapter and endeavoring to show it without sense or reason. . . . They hold that it can be no sort of revelation because it is covered with so gross and dense an ignorance. . . . But I, . . . although I cannot comprehend it, I still suspect that there is some deeper sense underlying the words.”
—Dionysius the Great, bishop of Alexandria (d. 264 C.E.) Of all the writings that have affected apocalyptic thought, none has had a larger impact than the Apocalypse, als...o called the Book of Revelation. Today it is the one apocalyptic book of the New Testament. But as the last chapter showed, when it was written there were any number of other visions and prophesies of the end times floating around the Roman world. Why was this one chosen to be part of the Christian holy books? Who wrote it and when? Like Bishop Dionysius, many were puzzled by the imagery. And, like those he mentions, some people were decidedly against it. So what is the fascination that it has held for nearly two thousand years of readers?
