From the Paper:

"This work is intended to be a book review of the Book of Revelation. Being such, one would expect the writer to spend considerable time introducing the author and opening with some type of discussion on the subject of the book. In the case of the Book of Revelation these two tasks are not as easy as they would seem. There are many theories in existence among Bible historians about whom the actual author of the book was. Part of this argument stems from the difficulty in dating its exact time of writing. "
