Clip: 2/24/2012 | 7m 16s
A scholar says the New Testament's final book should be understood as war literature.
Biblical scholar Elaine Pagels calls the Book of Revelation the "strangest" and "least understood" book in the Bible. "It's as though you take all of your nightmares about plague or destruction or war or torture or natural catastrophe, and you just wrap it into a huge single nightmare, and you get the Book of Revelation."
