    About this ebook

    Many people today regard Revelation as the hardest book in the New Testament. It is full of strange, lurid and sometimes bizarre and violent imagery. As a result, many people who are quite at home in the Gospels, Acts and Paul find themselves tiptoeing around Revelation with a sense that they don't really belong there. But they do! In fact, Revelation offers one of the clearest and sharpest visions of God's ultimate purpose for the whole creation, and of the way in which the powerful forces of evil, at work in a thousand ways, can be and are being overthrown through the victory of Jesus the Messiah and the consequent costly victory of his followers. Like the other guides in the N.T. Wright for Everyone series, Revelation brings you into a fresh encounter with Scripture under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background information guide you and your group through each study.

      [[NT Wright]] provides an easy to read survey of the book of Revelation and its possible interpretation. His approach is more historical and metaphorical than literal, so don't expect any timelines or direct interpretations of the various symbols in the book. He does however, state he could well be wrong and misunderstanding how it will work out; a good attitude for any commentator on Revelation.I think his best analysis is over the last two chapters of the New Heavens and the New Earth, where heaven unites with the re-created Earth and all things are made new. His picturesque language and use of modern examples make many local cultural references in the book fresh and relevant.The book is well worth reading whether you're a prophetic literalist or amillenialist. Recommended.
    • 4/5
      A thoughtful and useful popular commentary on the Book of Revelation. A sane interpretation of this magnificent but much abused book.
    • 5/5
      The volume for Revelation of Wright's New Testament For Everyone Series.Consistent with previous volumes in the series, Wright first translates each section of Revelation, provides some illustration, then explains the text in its context. Major terms are defined in the glossary at the end.Wright does well at summarizing the main action and themes of Revelation. He writes from an "amillennial" and "spiritual" perspective, demonstrating the continuity of imagery between Revelation and what has come before in the Old and New Testaments. The drama is explained well in its context.This is not an in-depth commentary, yet has great value in introducing and explaining Revelation. Highly recommended so as to keep the big picture in mind.**--book received as part of early review program
