Synopsis

Many busy Christians have pushed the book of Revelation in the Bible aside as too weird or too complicated. However, a close look reveals personal applications, builds faith, and stimulates worship. Revelation: A Devotional Commentary is a study of Revelation with a devotional emphasis. It applies Revelation to the Christian life, rather than analyzing theology or current events.
Revelation: A Devotional Commentary is based on the conviction that any ordinary Christian can read and understand the main ideas of Revelation, and find it relevant to life today. The body of this book is comments on the Scriptures, passage by passage, in everyday language, punctuated by frequent pauses for worship. This approach will appeal to those who like a verse-by-verse style of devotional Bible study where comments are based on points from a book of Scripture in sequence.
A distinctive feature of Revelation: A Devotional Commentary is its outline of Revelation, which is based on literary markers rather than a theology of eschatology. The outline consists of six sets of seven visions each, plus a short prologue and epilogue. This book views Revelation as a panorama, a large tapestry, rather than as a predictive chronology of the second coming of Jesus. Even though Christians have many different interpretations of details about the second coming of Jesus, one thing is guaranteed, Jesus will come back to Earth again, this time with power and glory.
Revelation: A Devotional Commentary focuses on these points about the second coming of Jesus, which are clearly taught by other Scriptures: (1) Jesus will personally return. (2) Believers will rise from the dead to eternal life. (3) Unbelievers will face eternal judgment. (4) Expect Him soon!
Features include the full text of Revelation from the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), dramatic woodcut prints by Albrecht Dürer, meditations, personal study questions, plans for discussion group study, a wealth of Bible cross references, and an index of Scripture references and section titles.
