On this weeks podcast C&SI is continuing a 5 part series for the summer months where we are sharing a series of reflections and homilies by Bishop Robert Barron from Word on Fire Ministries focusing on one of the most understood books of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.Right Praise, Right OrderThe last stanza of a poem, the last chapter of a novel, or the last lines of a play are of extraordinary significance, but only if you’ve read the whole work up to that point. Similarly, to understand the book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, we have to attend to the great sweep of the story beginning in Genesis.
