In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen and New Testament scholar Ian Paul tackle the complexities of the Book of Revelation, addressing common fears and misunderstandings about this often daunting text.
They explore how understanding biblical Greek and Hebrew, alongside the cultural context of scripture, can transform the way we read the Bible—especially Revelation. Ian sheds light on how Greek grammar reveals new dimensions of familiar passages, such as the Lord's Prayer and John 3:16. He also explains why Revelation is so saturated with Old Testament references, and how its apocalyptic imagery—dragons, beasts, and more—should be understood.
Throughout the conversation, they emphasise the importance of reading scripture in community and explore how Revelation offers both challenge and comfort to Christians today. If you've ever wondered how to approach Revelation with confidence, or how biblical languages deepen your understanding of scripture, this episode is for you.
