Behold, I Am Coming Soon: Meditations on the Apocalypse of John
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This book contains twelve meditations on the New Testament book of Revelation, written by theologians, biblical scholars, historians, and clergy. In short, easy-to-read selections that are profound and relevant to life, the meditations--along with three or four accompanying questions--help the reader engage more deeply with the Scripture passage. Given the potential challenges of this final book of the Christian canon, these meditations help the reader find a way to enter in and experience more fully what John, the author of the Apocalypse, wanted us to hear and see.

“A facile criticism of seminaries is that their abstract
theologizing seems distant from our concrete problems. Behold, I
Am Coming Soon belies such effectively. It confronts the
off-putting sense many have of Revelation. It offers concise
exegetical insights. It shows how it witnesses in its own way to
doctrines like grace and justification. Its words about heaven and
God’s time offer spiritual refreshment. In sum, the book embodies
what the oft-used term ‘integration’ was reaching for. It will be
read with profit by academic and lay audiences alike.”
—George R. Sumner, episcopal bishop of Dallas
