Overview
Ray Summers interprets Revelation in alliance with the historical circumstances Christians encountered in the late first century. Worthy is the Lamb is clearly outlined and carefully documented to offer a balanced, constructive interpretation of Revelation in the context of the whole New Testament and in the context of its historical setting.
Summers removes a lot of the end-time mystery that often confuses the modern reader of Revelation and focuses on what God intended to say to the first-century Christians and what He wanted them to understand. Dr. Summers firmly believes that as the Spirit led John to write for the needs of his first-century Christians, the Spirit can lead contemporary Christians to understand the significance of that writing for all time.
