This second volume of the "Light in Darkness" series presents an engaging exploration of the pagan culture of the first-century Church, with an emphasis on the city of Pergamum. It includes nearly 400 images-including more than 100 shot on location-classic artwork, artifacts, illustrations, and maps, working to create a comprehensive, completely indexed reference book.

Against this historical backdrop, this book highlights Jesus' message to the church of Pergamum when He appeared in a vision during the Apostle John's imprisonment on Patmos. Renner guides readers through a fascinating, detailed explanation of Jesus' message to the Pergamene church and its critical significance to the Church in these last days before Jesus returns.

Readers are also given a larger context for the pivotal moment when Jesus appeared to John on that isolated island, with a revealing overview of the first three centuries AD, in which the infant Church grew amidst much opposition within a pagan world and demonstrated that darkness can never overcome the light, life, and power that the truth of Jesus Christ offers all those who believe.
