Today we are talking with Dr Ian Paul about the book of Revelation, its relevance to today. We'll be looking at how it is often misused and misread but also discussing his new book on how to access Revelation without requiring a degree in theology.

Dr Paul has a background in mathematics but after working in industrial business, he was ordained in the Church of England where he did a PhD on metaphor in Paul Ricoeur and the Book of Revelation. Dr Paul has been involved in diocesan education and a member of the General Synod of the Church of England. He has also taught New Testament and Practical theology and was Dean of Studies from 2005 to 2012 at St John's, Nottingham.

Since 2013, Dr Paul has written, researched and spoken in a freelance capacity. You can find his writing and links to his books here:

--- About the channel ---

Dan and Phil are mates who like talking apologetics, philosophy, ethics and theology. They interview Christians who are evangelists, authors, scientists, apologists, comedians or simply interested in talking about big topics. In the future, we're looking to interview people from other faiths and atheists in a non-confrontational format.

We put all interviews on a podcast. We aim to update the podcast every other week:
