Book excerpt: The final book of the bible "Revelation" is allusive and mysterious, none more so than chapter ten regarding "The Little Book", not least because John the Divine was not permitted to write down the meaning of the prophecy. This little book does not claim entirely to resolve the mystery but does provide insights into the likely subject matter of the book or scroll John was instructed to consume. That subject is divine providence and how since a Bible-based theology was first systematized in the 4th/5th century its munificence has been diminished through some erroneous doctrines that were incorporated. Along with some radical insights of his own, the author draws upon the testimony and biblical interpretations of the more significant pre-Augustinian Christian writers and theologians to make the case that the fruits of Christ's Passion extend beyond Israel and the Church, resulting in a providence worthy of a Creator defined in Scripture as Love personified.
