In Rereading Prophecy, Homer Kizer demystifies the beasts the Prophet Daniel and the Apostle John saw in visions. Relying upon his training as a literary critic and his experience as a novelist, he superimposes one little horn on the other and concludes that Protestantism's Roman bias cannot be supported from the Biblical text, that the focus of end time prophecies is Greece and the political and philosophical paradigms derived from Greek thought. As such, he argues persuasively against the traditional interpretations of symbols students of Biblical prophecy have advocated since the Reformation.

Rereading Prophecy's "Introduction" includes a linguistic primer that will aid readers' understanding of how symbols and figurative language can be read wherever encountered.
