Here's a review of my book by Dr. Bennis on Book Review.com:
"In this
ambitious work, Williams takes on a challenging subject in a masterful and
unusual way.
For nearly two thousand years, people have been interpreting the Book of Revelation
as though it had been written specifically for their own time. Today, we are flooded with uneven interpretations
and fictionalized versions of the Book of Revelations, all attempting to prove that the events portrayed in this
enigmatic portion of the New Testament are occurring or are about to occur in our life time.
But what if they're way off the mark? What if the prophecies described in the Book
were meant to reflect the times in which it was written? The concept makes good sense, and the research Williams
puts behind his theories drives them home.
Not only does Williams describes in detail the political, financial and social woes
suffered by Christ's devotees in the years directly following the crucifixion, he ties together well-documented
historical events that match Revelations 4 through 16.
In the last chapter of the book Williams gives us his take on other interpretations
and interpreters as widely varied as St. Augustine, the Jehovah's Witnesses, Billy Graham, Carl Jung, and Edgar
Cayce.
This book is a MUST HAVE for any true biblical scholar. It is an even-handed,
well-written look at a subject that is too often moved from research and faith to pure fiction."
