Revelation (Augsburg Commentary on the New Testament | ACNT)

Perhaps no book in the entire New Testament has been misinterpreted to the extent of Revelation. The imagery and symbolism—and the entire genre of apocalyptic literature—presents an obstacle to interpretation, and exegetical method must be applied carefully. Gerhard Krodel, in his commentary on Revelation, offers a lengthy synopsis of Revelation’s interpretive history, including the myriad ways Revelation is misinterpreted. Yet a careful reading of Revelation reveals the nature of apocalyptic literature and the creative ways in which God speaks.
