In this volume, Kistemaker provides a comprehensive look into one of the most intriguing books of the Bible. He shows that the Book of Revelation is indeed "a divinely constructed volume in which God shows his handiwork."
Marking the completion of Baker's award-winning New Testament Commentary series, Revelation provides a comprehensive look into one of the most intriguing books of the Bible. This volume closely examines each illustration, each meaning, searching for the heart of God's message in this our last direct letter from him. Kistemaker masterfully shows that the Book of Revelation, with its intricate web of symbolism and expansive and awe-inspiring glimpses of heaven, is indeed a "divinely constructed volume in which God shows his handiwork."
Book by book, idea by idea, verse by verse-Baker's New Testament Commentary series is composed for the benefit of pastors and serious Bible students who want quality evangelical scholarship communicated with clarity. Each volume offers fresh translation, verse-by-verse comment and application, and critical notes on the Greek text.
Simon J. Kistemaker (Ph.D., Free University, Amsterdam) is emeritus professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando. He received Gold Medallion Awards for four of the volumes in this series: Hebrews, James and 1-3 John, Acts, and 1 Corinthians.

The Zeal of Dr. K,
By Tom Nelson "TomatRTS" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revelation (New Testament Commentary) (Hardcover)
This is excellent work. Dr. Kistemaker has a great desire that those who preach and teach the Word of God are fully equipped and are excited about their calling. The only thing better than reading Dr. K's work is listening to his lectures on the subject, and both are definitely well-worth the time. I will use this commentary as long as I have a place to teach and preach.

Review of Kistemaker's Revelation Commentary,
By
This review is from: Revelation (New Testament Commentary) (Hardcover)
Kistemaker solidly presents in a clear way what is often not clear regarding John's Apocalypse. It's refreshing to see that some are still down-to-earth and not on the denominational pre-millenial dispensation bandwagon that is so prevelant today. Kistemaker's exegesis fits the 1st century audience who received the original message and his hermeneutic is right on target for today's audience--it makes good sense. Kistemaker uncomplicates the complicated and covers all the bases. This book challenges, delights, clarifies, and helps me rethink what I believe about the Apocalype and why I believe it. I recommend highly this outstanding volume.

Unrealized potential,
By Son of Clovis (Clovis, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Revelation (New Testament Commentary) (Hardcover)
Professor Kistemaker fails to live up to his potential in this volume. Oh, the reader will get help. However, the reader will not get the help he deserves from Simon Kistemaker.
The volume reaches about 30% of Kistemaker's potential. So the volume is a disappointment. As such it is grossly overpriced. It should be a slender paperback, selling for about $9.95. Hopefully, the good professor will take some time to sit down, add some real quality, and produce the substance of which he is capable.
