paperbackRevelation
The IVP New Testament Commentary Series
by J. Ramsey Michaels
Interpretations of the book of Revelation abound. One view suggests that the book indirectly describes events in John's own time. Another interpretation sees Revelation as a prophetic survey of the history of the church. Still another views the book as a precise prediction of the end of the world.
