Answer (2)

The Book of Revelation is believed to have been authored by John during the reign of Emperor Domitian, between AD 91 and 96. Early church leaders like Ireneaus supported this timeframe due to the persecution Christians faced under Domitian. The association with Nero, although significant, is less supported for the authorship of Revelation. ;

The Book of Revelation is believed to have been written by John during Emperor Domitian's reign between AD 91 and 96, primarily due to historical accounts from early church leaders. In contrast, the time of Emperor Nero is less supported in connection with the authorship of Revelation. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: Domitian between AD 91 and 96.
