Hebrews–Revelation (ESV Expository Commentary, Vol. 12 | ESVEC)
Overview
Designed to strengthen the global church with a widely accessible, theologically sound, and pastorally wise resource for understanding and applying the overarching storyline of the Bible, this commentary series features the full text of the ESV Bible passage by passage, with crisp and theologically rich exposition and application.
Editors Iain M. Duguid, James M. Hamilton, and Jay A. Sklar have gathered a team of experienced pastor-theologians to provide a new generation of pastors and other teachers of the Bible around the world with a globally minded commentary series rich in biblical theology and broadly Reformed doctrine, making the message of redemption found in all of Scripture clear and available to all. Six experienced Bible teachers walk through some of the richest but more challenging books of the New Testament, helping Bible readers understand what they say about Christians’ hope for the future.

Top Highlights
“Only two problems with the dispensational view should be noted here. First, there is no evidence that the church is raptured before chapter 4. Such a reading must be imposed upon the text. Second, the sharp distinction between Israel and the church postulated by dispensationalists cannot be supported by a careful reading of Revelation.” (Page 545)
“The scroll, as we shall see, represents redemptive history and God’s purposes for the entire creation, especially human beings.” (Page 605)
“The seals represent redemptive history and God’s plan for history, including saving human beings, so if no one can open the scroll or break the seals, the human race is doomed.” (Page 605)
“I will argue that the two witnesses refer to the church, which testifies to the gospel of Jesus Christ in the period between the cross and second coming (v. 3).” (Page 650)
“The scroll, as we shall see, must be opened for God’s purposes to be realized in history and for humans to be redeemed from their evil.” (Page 606)
The ESV Expository Commentary series will be a welcome addition to the toolbox of those who are committed to expounding the inerrant and infallible Word of God. It is biblically sound, theologically faithful, and practically helpful. I look forward to using it in my own preaching and teaching ministry.
—Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
The ESV Expository Commentary series is one of the best, most useful building blocks for a Bible teacher’s basic library. Readily accessible to lay readers and at the same time sufficiently learned to assist experienced expositors, this twelve-volume set seems destined to become a standard Bible reference tool for serious students of Scripture around the world.
—Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College
The ESV Expository Commentary series is truly a treasure of outstanding biblical exposition and thoughtful biblical theology. Not only will readers find high-quality scholarship, but they will discover a readable, accessible, and well-designed commentary. Pastors, Bible teachers, and interested students will find this excellent resource to be an incredibly helpful and trustworthy guide. Highly recommended!
