If you can, take a moment to introduce yourself? What do you hope to gain from our group study? What excites you about the Gospel of John? Let us know!
My name is Justin Staller. I am a carpenter and full-time student, wonderfully married (no kids: too much work!) and living in the Bay Area.
I was raised in a Arminian-Wesleyan, Pentecostal, Evangelical church. I could throw a few more titles at you, but suffice it to say that today I call myself non-denominational, as much as reality allows me to be so.
I've spent about three years studying Revelation, and am currently working on my second or third draft of a book on the same subject; some of what you see here may be taken directly from that first or second draft. As you may guess, I am not a professional theologian or professor, and sometimes I'm a bit intimdated by the elite among us, but I've learned to trust myself enough to be confident, and to confidently admit, when it comes to it, that I may be wrong.
From this group study, I hope to gain a better perspective on what issues surrounding Revelation concern people, what people really care about, and what ways are best for a wide audience to look at a very complex and meaningful book. I also hope that others in the group are encouraged by the book, and become more comfortable with what can seem like an indecipherable and esoteric work written centuries and centuries ago.

Search the scriptures--for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
They are they which testify of me--and ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
