General Description
This course will provide an introduction to, and overview of, the Book of the Revelation of the Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian, through a survey of patristic commentary on the book, with special reference to the five volume collection of homilies by the ever-memorable and holy elder, Archimandrite Athanasios (Mitilinaios), Abbot of the Monastery of Komnineiou and Saint John the Theologian in Stomion, Larisa, Greece.

Objectives of the Course
This course seeks to enhance theological understanding of the message of the Book of Revelation, its ecclesiological nature, as a book about and for the Church from the first to the second coming, and Orthodox Eschatology in general.

We all need to become well-informed as to the message and meaning of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian, not only because we live in apocalyptic times - although we do - and not only because there are many signs alerting us to spirit of our end times - although there are - but mainly because The Revelation is a book for the Church, about the Church, from the First to the Second Coming.

You are invited to join us as we - under the close tutelage of the Holy Fathers and the great Elder and Teacher, Archimandrite Athanasius Mitilinaios - walk line by line through the last book of the Bible, the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega of history, and are blessed, according to the book itself: “Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near” (Rev. 1:1-3).
