| In the late first century, the Roman Emperor Domitian unIeashes a virulent campaign against Christians. HeId captive by the Romans on the lsIand of Patmos, the aged Apostle John receives strange visions, incIuding messages directIy from Jesus to the seven persecuted churches on the nearby mainland. Key aspects of this reimagining of the story are firmly rooted in the bibIical text and historical research. To propeI the story, a few fictionaI characters are imagined, including a young Christian woman named lrene, who becomes important to John's mission. Driven by her wish to meet the last Iiving witness of the Lord's passion, Irene succeeds in gaining access to John's prison. Entrusting the written record of his visions to her, he begs Irene to spread its message among the Christians. These visions form the contents of the Book of Revelation, the mysterious prophecy of Jesus's return and a spirituaI message for Christians of aIl eras. |
