“The Apocalypse is non-literary in its inception. ... No biblical book has suffered such an extreme fate at the hands of its scholarly exegetes. The reason is now easy to see—no biblical book has been so far removed in its origin from the literary medium. ... Television-trained lay Christians may discover that it is the one biblical book in which they hold an interpretive advantage over their more bookish pastors and theologians. It may again become the brilliant climax to the scriptural canon that it once was, instead of the bizarre embarrassment it has been for so many centuries.”
