My obituary of Pope Francis, a real one, looks back at his 2015 visit to the White House — and the three miracles I witnessed that day. migrantinsider.com/p/the-day-po...

Can anyone recommend me a paper/article on what the book of Revelation contributes to NT theology in general? Like it is often push aside to the margins and most often than not not considered seriously in NT theologies. So someone must have argued why is important theologically
