Blogging Revelation

Starting tomorrow night, I'm leading a Bible study series at my church on Revelation. This will be the fourth time that I've taught this book and I like the knowledge that accrues from simply teaching a book of the Bible, especially one like this.

I've been battling back and forth in my head about whether or not I should blog about what I'm learning/teaching during this go-round with the book. There are some reasons why I'm hesitating:

1) Revelation and end-times theology in general are both controversial subjects and a lot of Christians are definitely not open to disagreement or differing interpretations when it comes to this stuff.

2) Mainline Protestants have not paid that much attention to this book in the past. Many moderate Christians would just as soon this book not be in the Bible. So there are a not a great deal of resources out there regarding this book (unless I'm totally missing something). That's probably just an excuse anyways.

That's about it for my reasons. Kind of lame. So I'm gonna blog our journey through Revelation, starting with today's blog, which is a summary of what we'll be covering tomorrow evening. In order for these not to be incredibly long entries, I'm gonna hit the high points, or break it up with 2 entries over the course of a week.
