I'm hoping someone can direct me to some reference books on the Biblical apocalypse. WARNING: I'm in no way a Biblical scholar type, and so far I've gotten lost on the first page of most articles/sites I've found - well, for that matter, the first paragraph has lost me - due to all the references to various other religious/Biblical references included. I actually did find an "Apocalypse for Dummies" - part of another 'for Dummies' book - but that was a little too simplified. So basically I'm looking for a book (or books) that explains the theories and details but in layman's terms, and doesn't assume the reader already knows the Bible inside and out.
Does anything like that even exist, or am I doomed to months of wading through religious texts hoping I 'translate' it semi-correctly?
