Description

The book of Revelation has been subjected to wildly different interpretations. Why? 'Its symbolism belongs to the first century, not to our own age,' says Leon Morris, who explains the metaphors and symbols and their significance for the church today.Throughout the centuries the book of Revelation has been subjected to wildly different interpretations. Why? 'Its symbolism belongs to the first century, not to our own age,' says Leon Morris in the preface to his commentary. Here he explains the ancient metaphors and symbols - most important, a slain lamb - in ways that demonstrate their compelling significance for the church today.Review"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world." (Craig Blomberg, Denver Seminary) "Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible." (Peter Adam, principal, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia) "Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes." (D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) "There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries." (Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary) "The evenness and quality of this series are remarkable."
