Creatures with eyes covering them front and back, a lamb whose
throat has been slit, a woman wrapped in the sun, a monster with seven heads, angels destroying the earth, crowds praising God. Such are the characters of the book placed last in the Christian canon and traditionally known as “The Apocalypse” or “Revelation”. THE DISCLOSURE is a translation from the Greek that will help readers with little biblical knowledge to appreciate the imagery and

contemporary apocalyptic works. The translation will encourage advanced students of the Bible to further reflect on the nature and significance of the book, especially as they compare its rendering of the complex text with more traditional versions.
