Overview

"Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches."

The book of Revelation speaks powerfully to every aspect of the Christian life, and the modern church desperately needs the vision of hope that it provides. In this thematic approach to the Bible's final book, author J. Scott Duvall identifies ten major themes, including: God and his people, worship, enemies, the mission, and the new creation. In The Heart of Revelation, readers will understand how to read Revelation in context, asking, "What are the main truths and realities of Revelation that we can know for certain?" and learning how these truths are relevant to our lives as modern-day believers.

Top Highlights

“Revelation is much more than an end-times puzzle to be solved; rather, it is God’s communication to the seven churches (and by extension to the church in every age) about how to live faithfully in light of the future he has in store. You can still see the forest even when you can’t identify all the trees.” (source)

“Perhaps surprisingly, God speaks directly in Revelation only twice—1:8 and 21:5–6—and in both places he identifies himself as ‘the Alpha and the Omega’ (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet). It’s synonymous with ‘the Beginning and the End’ (21:6; 22:13), or ‘the First and the Last’ (1:17; 22:13). Revelation is telling us that God bookends all of human history. He is both the starting line and the finish line, and the whole race in between. The one who controls both ends of history also stands sovereign over everything in the middle. Again, God is in control.” (source)

“What are the main truths and realities of Revelation that we can know for certain” (source)

“The Tigers’ home stadium, known as ‘Death Valley,’ is a tough place for visiting teams to play because the fans are intense. At this particular game, one announcer spoke more than he knew when he said, ‘Make no mistake: worship happens here.’” (source)

“John’s favorite title for God: the ‘Almighty.’ In Greek, the Roman emperor was called by a similar name: autokratōr, or ‘one who rules by himself.’” (source)

Revelation is one of my favorite books in the Bible. Scott Duvall is one of my favorite authors and commentators on the Bible. That makes for a great combination in The Heart of Revelation. This book is biblical theology for the church at its best.

Nick Floyd, senior pastor, Cross Church, Northwest Arkansas

The Heart of Revelation illuminates this challenging and complex biblical book for contemporary readers by unraveling its mysteries in a fresh and thematic manner. Scott Duvall is to be heartily commended for providing this clear guide that will enable students, teachers, and pastors to comprehend and communicate the riches so often missed in the Bible's concluding book. It is truly a joy and a delight to welcome and recommend this outstanding and insightful exploration of these ten central and overarching themes in the book of Revelation.
