Bk of Revelation from many perspectives,
By Bible Doc "College theo prof" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Every People and Nation (Paperback)
I have used this book with college undergrads and they liked the various viewpoints presented by the author. They had done a detailed study of the Book of Revelation before reading the essays, so I think that is why they appreciated the new looks at such an ancient book. I found the essays interesting but somewhat varied in addressing theological content and contextual relationships.
