Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Revelation
The Apocalypse can be understood only in the light of the relation in which the Empire stood to the Church at the close of the first century, and especially in the light of an institution, half religious and half political, conformity to which was regarded by the one as the mark of a loyal citizen, and by the other as apostasy from Christ. Of this institution it will be necessary to give some account.
