Quite some time ago I wrote about Coming Soon<\/a>, a book by Dr. Michael Barber concerning the Book of Revelation (“Apocalypse”<\/em><\/span>). I enjoyed Dr. Barber’s book a lot and I expressed how much I’d like to work through that book again in some kind of study group.<\/p>\n

Well, nearly three years later, it has finally happened. Earlier this week I met up with a friend at a local Pub and we went through the first chapter of Coming Soon<\/em><\/span>. I’ve affectionately dubbed our little group as “The Oratory of St. Arnoldus<\/a>“<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As we work through Dr. Barber’s book each week I will attempt to do a short post summarizing our discussion…<\/p>\n

Proverbs 31:6<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Will the real John please stand up?<\/h2>\n

In the first chapter, Dr. Barber focuses on the authorship and date of composition of the Book of Revelation. Traditionally, authorship has been attributed to St. John the Apostle, sometimes referred to as “John the Revelator”<\/em><\/span> or “John the Divine”<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n
