The book is frequently called "Revelation"; however, the title found on some of the earliest [[manuscript]]s is "The Apocalypse of John" (Αποκάλυψις Ιωάννου), and the most common title found on later manuscripts is "The Apocalypse of the [[theologian]]" (ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΘΕΟΛΟΓΟΥ). (In English, ''apocalypse'' is often rendered as ''revelation'' and the literal meaning of the Greek word is "unveiling".)
