As a new Christian, I read through the Bible & was thoroughly confused… probably more by Revelation than any other book… having spent decades trying to better understand it, I’ve read a lot of commentaries, but this particular commentary is absolutely the best I have read. I would describe it as a greatest hits of commentaries on Revelation, divided into their interpretive camps. Many commentaries on Revelation set out to persuade you, the reader to their view, while seeking to make the other views appear juvenile. Steve Gregg essentially gives you a small section of the scripture, then in four parallel columns lays out the best explanations each of the views offer in the words of those who hold those respective views. As I recall, the author has held all the views he lays out at different seasons of his life, so he is able to be fair in his treatment & avoids tones of condescension. I wanted to be educated on this book of the Bible rather than indoctrinated & this commentary delivered! I wish there were a series treating every book of the Bible in this manner!Ernesto Reyes

This book has been updated since it's original release, will it be updated here aswell? For example: he changed "spiritual" to "idealist" and incorporated the works of Bauckham and Beale into the book.Chris Keener
