The New American Commentary - Revelation

---

The New American Commentary series is for the minister or Bible student who wants to understand and expound the Scriptures. Notable features of each volume include:commentary based on the New International Version (NIV) of Scripture- the NIV text printed in the body of the commentary- interpretation that emphasizes the theological unity of each book and of Scripture as a whole- readable and applicable exposition.In the Introduction to his commentary on Revelation- L. Paige Patterson observes the widespread neglect of this closing book of the New Testament.“Aside from a few journal articles and fewer monographs- few homiletical adventurers have evidenced the moxie to enter the eschatological lists and take on this book in the pulpit. This remains the case even though curi- osity abounds in many congregations where parishioners fervently wish that their respective pastors would explain the book to them. Among those who embark on this adventure- most sail no further than the message to the seven churches . . . thus missing the grandeur of the promises that proliferate in chapters 4-22.”Patterson writes with the strong conviction that preachers and professors can grasp Revelation and expound it fruitfully. To that end he has writ- ten this commentary- and in doing so- interacts with a wide array of interpreters of Revelation across the centuries. The reader who follows Patterson’s interpretive decisions will experience a virtual hermeneutical workshop but far more than that. He will see more clearly than ever the glory and grandeur of Jesus Christ.
