My new booklet is now available:
An Eschatological Commentary on the Four Gospels

The book is a commentary on select passages from the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It is not a commentary on the whole of each Gospel, but only on those passages with an eschatological meaning, a meaning for the future of the Church and the world.

This book presents a particular speculative understanding of the tribulation, based on Sacred Scripture and other sources in Roman Catholic eschatology.
