Interpreting the Book of Revelation

"What the Book of Revelation requires is not that we know in advance what is coming, but that we know how to meet it when it comes," asserts J. Ramsey Michaels. This volume in the Guides to New Testament Exegesis series, recently brought back in print, helps students do just that. Interpreting the Book of Revelation provides a concise introduction to the careful interpretive study of Revelation. Its meticulous, scholarly approach to studying linguistic structure, vocabulary, and variant readings provides a sound exegetical model. In a review appearing in Bibliotheca Sacra Harold Hoehner writes, "If one wants to make a study of the Book of Revelation, this should be one of the first [books] to be read." Throughout, Michaels stands behind the unity of this challenging New Testament book as prophecy influenced by current events--predictive, yet calling readers to faith now.
