The End: A Scott Hahn Bible Study in the Book of Revelation (11-part audio course + study guide)

A University Level Course in Scripture

Have you ever tried reading the Book of Revelation? Do you know how to properly interpret its mysterious imagery and mystifying theology? Unfortunately most of us get bogged down in the details and fail to appreciate the profound insights contained in this enigmatic book. But you can change all this with the classic 11 tape series The End: A Study in the Book of Revelation, and its brand new 180-page study guide!

Discover Critical Interpretive Keys

With The End, you'll join Dr. Scott Hahn in an intense verse-by-verse study of the New Testament's most prophetic book. And rather than reading it apart from the rest of the Bible, you'll discover how the Apocalypse contains many of the critical interpretive keys necessary to understanding the entire Gospel! You'll learn why Revelation is the ultimate "unveiling" whereby the Lord of the Universe reveals Himself to His Bride, the Church. And how its twenty-two chapters are a timely and timeless message of hope for believers suffering persecution and for those others struggling not to lose faith. With scholarly precision, Dr. Hahn examines the various ways that Protestants and Catholics understand the Book of Revelation, revealing how the prophecies of the Book of Revelation were first realized in the first century transition from the Old Covenant to the New, and how these prophecies ultimately point to a future fulfillment when all of God's creation will give way to a "new heaven and a new earth" when Christ Jesus will triumphantly return to judge the living and the dead.

Open Up New Avenues of Understanding

Unlocking the secrets contained in this final and most difficult book of the Bible has never been easier with The End: A Study in the Book of Revelation audio series and study guide! Dr. Hahn's clear and comprehensive analysis opens up new avenues of understanding and spiritual insight into God's covenantal love, the infinite value of the Mass, the powerful intercession of the Saints, the critical role of the Blessed Virgin Mary and significant details concerning the end of the world.
