The Revelation of St. John the Divine : An interpretation

by A. H. Ames

About the author

Available sources identify A. H. Ames as A. H. (Alfred Henno) Ames, the author of The Revelation of St. John the Divine: An Interpretation. Modern booksellers and catalog listings continue to carry that work, suggesting it has had a long afterlife beyond its original publication.

The biographical trail is fairly sparse, so only a few details can be stated with confidence. A memorial record for Rev. Alfred Henno Ames indicates that he was a clergyman, which fits the religious subject of his known book and helps explain its devotional, interpretive focus.

Because so little verified information is easily available, Ames remains a somewhat obscure figure today. What stands out most is his effort to make one of the Bible's most difficult books more understandable for ordinary readers.
