Good Omens and the Book of Revelation
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 4:59 pm
Since this book is a satirical/parody take on the apocalypse as put forth in the Book of Revelation, I thought I'd share a few links here so that those who are unfamiliar with the Book of Revelation can have a firmer understanding of the foundations of Good Omens and the fun it pokes at this view of the end of world, and religion in general.
