The Last Sunday After The Epiphany (Quinquagesima)

O God, who before the passion of thy only-begotten Son didst reveal his glory upon the holy mount: Grant unto us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Revelation of Saint John the Divine is one of the most peculiar and controversial books of the Bible. Also called by its anglicized Greek name, the Apocalypse, the book’s imagery, language, and claims about heaven, earth, and the relationship between them, have captivated Christians for millennia. This class will look closely at the book, guided by several recent Anglican commentaries.

In the penultimate chapter of the Apocalypse, John sees revealed ‚Äúthe holy city, the new Jerusalem.‚Äù These beautiful visions represents God’s promises to the faithful: a day to come in which there is ‚Äúno more death, neither sorrow, nor crying.‚Äù After the destructions depicted in the earlier parts of the book, the loving faithfulness of God is affirmed in these descriptions of everlasting peace. All are welcome and previous attendance is not required.
