Revelation is at once the most difficult and most intriguing book of the New Testament. The complexity of the scholarly questions concerning its interpretation is matched only by the fascination Revelation evokes in modern-day Christians and by their ongoing interest in what this mysterious book actually proclaims regarding the future of the church and of humankind.
In this widely praised exposition of Revelation, George Eldon Ladd treats the Apocalypse as a true prophecy—one that reflects the situation of the church when the book was written as well as the situation the church will face at the time of the consummation of God’s redemptive plan.
Beginning with a brief introduction, Ladd discusses the subject of authorship, the date and historical setting of Revelation, and the various methods of interpretation (preterist, historical, idealist, and futurist) that have been applied to the book throughout history. The introduction is followed by an analytical outline of Revelation’s structure and Ladd’s verse-by-verse commentary. The entire work is marked by Ladd’s sensitivity to the needs of both general readers and scholars and by his concern for proclaiming the message of Revelation for our time.
