In Scot McKnight's latest book, Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple, Scot along with Cody Matchett explore the timeless message of Revelation and how it speaks to us today with a courageous challenge to be faithful witnesses to Jesus while standing against the ever-present reality of worldly authorities. John designed his Book of Revelation to disciple readers into dissidents of the ways of the world and empire.
