Growing up in the Christian Reformed Church, Dr. John Bersgma remembers visiting Baptist churches and hearing elaborate and far-fetched explanations of the events in the book of Revelation. He thought they were extreme, but he decided to give his rapture-minded friends the benefit of the doubt. So when his Catholic friend used reason, Scripture and tradition to show him Mary’s role in the book of Revelation, he decided to give that friend the benefit of the doubt as well.
