Irving Tomlinson wrote, "The place which Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, gives to the Revelation of St. John is the place which every Christian should give to this book of the Bible." This precieved importance fueled the desire to republish The Revelation of Saint John An Open Book. The Open Book was one of several invaluable resources for understanding this particular canonical writing that so many Bible students have found to be mysterious. After its publication in 1922, and revision in 1935, the Open Book was widely studied by thousands of earnest Christians as well as Christian Scientists who endorsed and appre¬ciated the metaphysical and spiritual illuminations on the Book of Revelation provided by this ground breaking work. Our goal is to reintroduce this beautifully crafted guide for understanding Revelation, and its illumination by the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, to the contemporary generation of Christians. Mary Baker Eddy makes clear that all Christians and Christian Scientists must discern spiritually the ideas for which Christ Jesus toiled. She referred to these ideas, which he conveyed to Saint John in the Apocalypse, as being "spiritually indispensable" to fulfilling his mission for all mankind. Christian Science as presented to the world in the Christian Science textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures is in perfect alignment with the Bible and its prophecies. The correlation is astounding and provides convincing evidence that there is a correct path to spiritual understanding and demonstration. For this reason many today believe that Christian Science fulfills the prophetic requirements to be the final revelation as established in the Revelation of Saint John.

The number of them in any instance does not exceed four, therefore they are not exhaustive. In the order of references, the Bible is followed by Science and Health, then Mrs. Eddy's other writings. When there is a cross reference in Revelation it is given last. The line number in the reference is in harmony with the Concordances to Mrs. Eddy's writings. The numbers indicating page and line refer to the beginning of the explanatory citation. When a reference runs into a new paragraph on the following page the last line is indicated, e.g., Science and Health 111:26-15. The abbreviation n.p. for next page is used where it is needed. An asterisk indicates that use of the index will guide the student to further light on that subject in The Revelation of St. John, An Open Book. It is hoped that the citations will help the student to a clearer understanding of the Apocalypse. part I the text of the revelation of st. john printed in accord wi

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.
