The biblical book of Revelation is strange, seemingly mysterious, and often controversial. It's been mentioned in politics and war. We'll take a close look at Revelation, the apocalyptic genre, Revelation's reception history, and many of the interpretive moves that various groups make. We'll work to examine this text and its message to determine whether it can inspire us to embrace its final words - The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.

Clergy and Laity are invited and encouraged to participate. Register online now>

Rev. Jeff Moore, DMin, PhD is Affiliate Professor of Biblical Studies and Theological Method at Eden Theological Seminary, and serves as Pastor of Webster Groves Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Jeff has taught and written about Revelation for the past decade, and is currently working on a book-length project connecting Revelation with popular culture themes.

This is our first session of Disciples U, which was created to provide opportunities for laity to grow in their faith and understanding of who we are as Disciples and to whom we belong through offering studies and discussions in the areas of Biblical Studies, Congregational Development, Ethics & Justice, and Theology. These will occur online once per quarter, with some opportunities for in person workshops/studies.

These opportunities are specifically designed for laity, though commissioned and ordained clergy may take them to satisfy the professional development obligations, with a minor addition of providing a reflection paper.
