Revelation (Expositor's Bible Commentary)

By Alan F. Johnson

Book Overview

The award-winning Expositor's Bible Commentary, now available in this handy softcover edition, has established itself as one of the leading and most practical evangelical commentaries. Written for pastors and Bible students, it is scholarly and comprehensive without being overly academic. The seventy-eight contributors of The Expositor's Bible Commentary are committed to the complete trustworthiness and full authority of the Bible. They come from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and represent many denominations, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. In matters where marked differences of opinion exist, the contributors state their own convictions and deal fairly and without animosity with opposing views. The Expositor's Bible Commentary is based on the New International Version of the Bible, but may be used with any translation. Greek and Hebrew words have been transliterated to make the material accessible to readers unfamiliar with the biblical languages. Technical questions and textual issues are briefly dealt with in notes at the end of each section.

Exegetical Commentary

Mr. Johnson of Wheaton College has written this exegetical commentary which interprets the book of Revelation rather than apply it to our lives. He takes a futuristic view, that the events (after the opening letters to seven churches) have not happened yet. However, he does deal with the historical background of the first century, and how the events and images of that time relate to the future events. He is very matter of fact, he does not exaggerate or try to force modern events into the Revelation.
