Making Sense of the Book of Revelation

Book Description

As the author of this study remarks, the Book of Revelation stirs powerful emotions. It can fascinate, inspire and mystify, while it can also repel the reader with its images of violence. Competing voices today cry out for us to accept their interpretation. Some claim that the book is a road map for future events, others that it is a plea for justice for the oppressed. The author sets out to provide a guide for the perplexed, setting the book in the context of its time and showing that it remains an encouragement for Christians facing opposition and hostility in any age. In a straightforward way the author explores the colorful and often puzzling imagery of the book, tracing its origins in the Old Testament and other literature, and highlighting the message that Christ is the Lord of the world who will overcome all evil. In an exceptionally clear style, the author roots the book in history, finds its message for today, and opens up its assurance of hope for the future.

Regent’s Study Guides is a series published jointly by Regent’s Park College, Oxford, and Smyth & Helwys Publishing, Inc. It is characterized by the concern of the College to integrate careful theological thinking with the practice of pastoral care and service in society. The Guides are designed especially for those engaged in Christian pastoral ministry, whether as ordained ministers or lay leaders in the congregation, but it is hoped that they will also be of help to other church members who are willing to invest time and serious thought in reading them. Covering areas of biblical study, Christian doctrine, and spirituality, the Guides relate their subject to current affairs, the arts, science, and a Christian life-style for the present age.
