NT6 – The General Epistles and Revelation

Following the letters of Paul in the New Testament are the General Epistles – eight letters, written by five different authors, covering a wide range of topics and apparently intended either for all Christians believers or for an audience much broader than Paul’s more targeted epistles.  And following these general epistles – the last book in the New Testament – is the Revelation (or Apocalypse) of St. John – one of the most fascinating and difficult of all the books of the Bible.
