Saint Mark

Apocalyptic Literature Volume 1 Saint Mark

Apocalypse is a Greek word meaning "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling."

As a genre, apocalyptic literature details the authors' visions of the end times as revealed by a heavenly messenger or Angel.

This first volume in the new series Apocalyptic Literature focuses on early 'apocryphons' composed in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event in the ancient world - the Roman destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70. Volume 1 contains the essential Judeo-Christian works from this period:

The Apocalypse of Abraham

The Sheep and the Goats

The Book of Daniel (Two Versions)

The Olivet Discourse

Revelation (Four Versions)
