This book uncovers what the apocalyptic writings in the Bible were aiming to reveal about God’s action in the world in the age when they were composed. It encourages us to think how their message might be interpreted for people of faith in the present age, which is facing threats at least as serious as those which seemed about to overwhelm believers, whether Jewish or Christian, at the time the apocalyptic texts were written. What is important is the message of hope which accompanies the proclamation of Divine Judgement. Jesus repeatedly urges his disciples to be alert to the signs of the times and to endure steadfastly whatever disasters and betrayals those times may bring.
Tony Dickinson was born in Liverpool in 1948. After studying in Oxford and Lincoln and a career in university administration, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1982, serving in the Dioceses of St Albans and Oxford and, from 2018 to 2024, in the Diocese in Europe. He is an honorary canon emeritus of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, and is now retired and living in Devon. He is the author of a number of books published by SLG Press.
