In this addition to the award-winning BECNT series, leading evangelical biblical scholar Thomas Schreiner offers a substantive commentary on Revelation.
Schreiner's BECNT volume on Romans has been highly successful, with nearly 40,000 copies sold. In this volume, Schreiner presents well-informed evangelical scholarship on the book of Revelation. With extensive research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, he leads readers through the text of Revelation to help them better understand the meaning and relevance of this biblical book.
As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text and an acclaimed, user-friendly design. It admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.
Back Jacket
Having written a highly regarded commentary on Paul's Letter to the Romans in the BECNT series, Tom Schreiner presents here a superb commentary on John's Revelation. It does not require prophetic insight to say that his new commentary will be as much appreciated by scholars, students, and pastors alike as his commentary on Romans. Schreiner consistently focuses on the meaning of the text, which he surveys and assesses with his customary fairness and thoughtfulness. Readers will benefit from Schreiner's exegetical expertise, linguistic prowess, familiarity with international scholarship, judicious engagement with older and newer debates, and, perhaps most important, his love for the church.
--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"Schreiner's commentary is a welcome addition to the renaissance of study devoted to the Apocalypse over the last few decades. Among its strengths are an unswerving focus on the biblical text itself, a command of the relevant secondary literature without being controlled by it, a clear writing style, and a generous spirit of engagement with a variety of views and authors. The volume is destined to be a must-read for all serious students of Revelation."
--John Christopher Thomas, Pentecostal Theological Seminary; Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies, Bangor University, North Wales
"The book of Revelation is, at the same time, one of the most exhilarating and one of the most complicated books in the New Testament. To navigate these rough waters, one needs an able guide at the helm. Tom Schreiner proves to be such a guide in this wonderful commentary. It is both erudite and accessible, scholarly yet practical, and filled with a plethora of new insights and observations. I highly recommend it."
--Michael J. Kruger, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina
