In writing Revelation: The Distant Triumph Song, Dr. Becker rejects the historical-critical method of Bible interpretation and instead uses the grammatical-historical method. Following the Greek text, he interprets Revelation's highly symbolic language in light of the book's own outline. As a lecturer and teacher of Bible courses, he knew the challenging nature of Revelation for his students. With the clarity and patience of a good teacher, this book addresses their many questions and yours as well.
