Seven Churches of Revelation
While the rest of the New Testament is comprised of narratives and instructional letters, the last book (The Book of Revelation) is an apocalyptic work consisting of visions and predictions of future dramatic events. It also uses a great deal of symbolic language. Interpreting The Book of Revelation is a task that has occupied biblical scholars for centuries. This unforgettable tour offers you the opportunity to visit the locations of all seven “Churches of Revelation” that are mentioned in the The Book of Revelation’s, opening chapters.
