Revelation (Teach the Text Commentary Series)

To many Christians, the book of Revelation is either an inscrutable enigma to avoid or a detailed blueprint of the end of history over which to obsess. Both approaches tend to miss the book’s rich teachings about God Almighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, God’s people, worship, spiritual warfare, perseverance, judgment, and more. J. Scott Duvall unpacks Revelation with an emphasis on both historical and literary contexts, helping the modern teacher and reader focus on the book’s messages of warning, hope, and comfort, remembering that Jesus is Lord. Revelation issues a clarion call to faithful living in the face of the threat of persecution and the temptation to compromise, a call we need to hear today.
