The Revelation of St. John: An Introduction and Commentary

With our world in great tumult, the Book of Revelation comes alive for all who read and study. Morris is easy-to-read.

This 263-page commentary is in the Tyndale New Testament Commentary Series written by a renowned biblical scholar. Here is a thorough review found online: 'Revelation is probably one of the most feared books in the New Testament, and in the whole Bible. Its imagery is strange and often cryptic, and some don't quite know what to make of it--it seems easier to ignore it. But it's also a book that is full of stunning visions and memorable poetry. And Leon Morris opens the book up for the reader in a way that makes it approachable and understandable…. It's meant to be readable for layman as well as student and pastor. Morris is a recognized exegete on the Johanine literature, and brings learning to bear on this interesting book. He takes a … faithful approach to the book that seeks to discern its meaning and intent, both in its original setting and for readers today. And I think he achieves just that aim. After reading this somewhat short commentary, Revelation seems so much more approachable, and I highly recommend it to others. Morris finds Revelation as a book of great comfort and encouragement to the troubled Christians for which it was written, who were struggling under persecution from the Roman authorities. But he also sees in it God's identity and intention for the world laid out for all to see. He unpacks the symbolism in a helpful way that keeps it meaningful and brings it "down to earth" without either being a slave to the literal or dismissing it as merely figurative. He seems to find just the right approach to the book that retains its prophetic power yet doesn't give the book over to complicated schemes of future-times events. Highly recommended. A great introduction to this powerful prophetic book.'
