From an article by Neal Plantinga,
"John Calvin wrote commentaries on every book of the Bible but one. When he got to the last book of the Bible— the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation, the book of whores and dragons and clashing empires—he read it and then put his pen back in his drawer."
Perhaps a reminder for all of us to be a bit more humble as we deal not only with advent, but the second advent.

Too true. What article is this from?
The article, which gave me a lot of help for my Christmas day message, is "In the Interim", it was published in the Dec 6, 2000 issue of Christian Century.
