The Logic of the Revelation of St. John - 2001 reprint - New Delhi Baha'i Publishing Trust 1998 - 221 pages ; 22 cm

Few books of whatever age have motivated so much curiosity and controversy as the Book of Revelation. Theologians have defended it as the Word of God, skeptics have scorned it as mythology, historians have interpreted it as symbolic history of the primitive church in its struggle to survive. The present work assumes the position that Revelation is of divine origin, that it is in great part prophetic, and that its visions represent historical events. This work is one more attempt to unravel the mysteries hat lie hidden in the Book of Revelation.

The author views the book of Revelation from two perspectives: (1) The visions of Revelation are highly repetitive. The same events are represented various times with different symbols. (2) One can organize the events of Revelation on the basis of seven stages that represent seven dispensations in humanity's spiritual development, each epoch under the aegis of a Manifestation of God.
