I have written two book reviews recently. The first on is for Robert Sungenis new book, The Apocalypse of St. John, The Catholic Apologetics Study Bible, Volume II. This si an excellent book based on the standard Church view of the Apocalyopse (since at least Augustine). After reading this book, you will find the Apocalypse much less mysterious, plus have a profound understanding about why things happen the way they do in the current age (the Church age).

I also reviewed Michael Barber's Coming Soon, Unlocking the Book of Revelation and Applying its Lessons Today . I ended up not recommending it. He has written the book for Catholics who know little about the Apocalypse. He does state what the traditional Church view of the Apocalypse is (in one paragraph), but then teaches a novel and speculative view which has little or no support from the Fathers or the Church. I personally think this is inappropriate as a begginer's book on the Apocalypse, which should focus on the standard Church view.

I left a comment on your blog. This is the book I was trying to link. I thought it was excellent and I would compare any other book on the Apocalypse to this one (LINK):

"An in-depth analysis of the Apocalypse that really makes sense. Proves it is a prophetic history of the Catholic Church. Proceeds chapter by chapter and verse by verse, explaining everything in terms of the language and symbolic meaning of Scripture itself. Gives the keys to understanding the Apocalypse. Shows we are on the verge of dramatic events! A masterpiece! 520 Pp. PB. Impr. "

Looks interesting. Thanks Aderamous TeChriste.

AdoramusTeChriste, this is an EXCELLENT book and in fact I recently scanned the entire thing in and made a referenceable PDF copy for myself so I can search and research it when reading the Apocalypse.
