As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to look back on some great articles published on Unlocking the Bible this year. I am so thankful for every writer who has contributed this year, and I’m thankful for all our readers who support us!
7 Realities Revealed in the Book of Revelation (Brad Wetherell)
The purpose of this post is not to engage (let alone settle) the common debates regarding Revelation. My goal is more simple and more general:

Three Biblical Prayers to Say for Your Parents (Chelsea Stanley)
