Revelation is a book that's widely misunderstood and misapplied. Dr. Dana Harris is here to step into the void offering a four-week class exploring this hope-filled, and stirring book of the Bible. With clarity and depth, Dr. Harris will guide participants through its key themes, symbols, and structure, showing how Revelation speaks powerfully to the church today. Each session will help you read the text faithfully, understand its historical context, and apply its message of perseverance and worship. Whether you're new to the book or have studied it before, this class will deepen your understanding and strengthen your faith.
This class will happen every Tuesday from 6:30pm-8:00pm in room A201.
