The Book of Revelation Bible StudyThese resources are offered as a ministry of the Christian
Resource Institute with no access charge or subscription fees. (See
Copyright and User Information Notice). If you find these
resources useful in your personal Faith journey or ministry, we only
ask that as you use the material you assist us by a contribution or monthly
donation to enable us to continue making them available. See How You Can Help! We hope you find something here helpful and invigorating for your own spiritual journey as you read and reflect upon the Book of Revelation, perhaps from a new perspective. The studies themselves are not intended to be comprehensive or complete commentaries on the biblical passages, but rather a survey of the content, a brief analysis of the features of the text that serve to communicate its message, and a summary of the theological communication of the passages as a basis for further reflection. That means that there will be a lot of interesting details of the biblical text that will not be directly considered. The Course of StudyRevelation 1:1-20: The
Revelation of Jesus Christ (Lesson 1)
