Revelation - Part Five: Revelation for the Rest of Us. This episode, authors Dr. Scot McKnight and Cody Matchett join Mike and Tim to discuss their new book "Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple." Cody and Dr. McKnight walk us through how to approach the book and how it should be read. Should Revelation be read backwards? How was the first century to interpret the booK? How are we now?
