What it is
Revelation read as a map of church history in seven ages, with the present standing just before the final crisis and the renewal that follows it.
Why it lasted
It made Revelation a chart of the near future rather than of the church's whole existence, an approach that has never gone away.
Scripture it works from
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
