the best primer available

Easily the best short commentary on Revelation. Good for anyone looking for an introduction to Revelation, or a minister looking for something to assist with preaching. Wilcock takes the "recapitulation" approach--and does good work of making his case. Because the commentary is not intended to be a complete analysis of every verse, many questions go untreated. For those looking for a complete commentary, see Greg Beale's commentary on Revelation. It's the magnum opus of our generation, and it will take several more generations before it's surpassed.

Sane, helpful guide to understanding the book of Revelation

Michael Wilcock writes helpful guides to understanding the bible. This book is sane and sensible. Wilcock helps us to think about how the book would have related to its original audience, and how it can be relevant to us today.Wilcock's way of interpreting the book uses the best of the Preterist and Idealist methods.I highly recommend his book. You will also find Steve Gregg's Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary an indispensable aid.

I've given many copies of this as gifts

He changed my mind on the millenium. He opened my eyes to a realistic and biblical interpretation and application of Revelation. He presents the material in a fair, warm, and readable style. Absolutely unparalleled for use in groups, by an individual, for preaching, and for teaching. This is the one book I give to students, friends, and inquirers
