This book does precisely ‘what it says on the tin’ — Revelation simply explained. In less than 300 pages, we are given a magnificent overview of this potentially most mysterious of Bible books.
An introductory chapter provides the necessary orientation to the kind of material we find in Revelation — apocalyptic. A great scholar from a previous generation, R.H. Charles, said that once the symbols of Revelation are understood, the book is easier to interpret than the epistle to the Romans. Steve Wilmshurst helps us understand those symbols, giving us a handle on the meaning and purpose of Revelation for Christians ancient and modern. The book has three great strengths.
