Most of us, however, know very little about the subject -- and if Leon Morris is correct, much of what we think we know is wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this brief introduction to apocalyptic, Morris brings together the results of a great deal of work that has been done on the subject by himself and others. In a clear and lucid style, he addresses himself to the characteristics of apocalyptic writings, the world from which they arose, and their relation to the gospel. \"Apocalyptic is not a good medium for expressing the cruciality of the cross,\" Morris concludes, \"and in fact it does not express it . . . We cannot understand important sections of the New Testament without some knowledge of apocalyptic. But we cannot hold that apocalyptic contains the key to the whole. . . .\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeon Morris\u003c\/b\u003e (1914-2006) was one of Australia's most prolific Bible scholars.
