Letters to the Seven Churches: Through the Lens of First Century Asia Minor

By Jeff Culver

Letters to the Seven Churches by Jeff Culver isn't just another commentary on the book of Revelation-it's a deep, revealing journey into the cultural and historical world behind the text. With clarity and depth, Jeff Culver takes readers beyond the surface, unpacking how Jesus's words to each of the seven churches were tailored specifically to the cities' reputations, customs, and even their monuments. This is the book that finally answers, "Why did He say that to them?" by reconnecting modern readers to the first-century world that originally heard the message.

Rather than offering abstract theological interpretations, Jeff Culver grounds each letter in the specific events, locations, and traditions that defined the era. Whether it's the medical school in Laodicea, the imperial cult in Pergamum, or the seismic destruction of Sardis, Letters to the Seven Churches uncovers the layers of meaning that would have been instantly understood by the original recipients. It's a masterclass in biblical context that opens up a new dimension of understanding, especially for readers who've always suspected there's more to these letters than meets the eye.

For pastors, small groups, Bible nerds, or anyone tired of reading Revelation like a cryptic puzzle, this book brings the message back down to earth-literally. By anchoring prophecy in real-world context, Jeff Culver invites us to see not just what the churches heard, but what they felt. The result is a powerful blend of scholarship and spiritual insight that connects ancient truth with present-day relevance.
