Overview

The book of Revelation, with its enigmatic symbols and language, has long been one of the Bible’s most difficult books to understand and interpret. Through rigorous exegesis, this collection sheds new light on the often mysterious Apocalypse by analyzing the text of Revelation to illuminate John’s subtle usage of the Old Testament. Featuring the work of distinguished scholars G.K. Beale and Steve Moyise two of today’s most well-known New Testament scholars—and particularly distinguished in the highly specialized study of the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament—this small collection illuminates the subtle ways John used the message of the Hebrew Scriptures to help illuminate the gospel in his apocalyptic vision.
