Unveiling Revelation [Paperback]

John Allen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 22, 2000

According to its opening verses, Revelation is intended for all people, in all ages, in all places, so this interpretation wont need revising as headlines change and years roll by. Because the author's premise is that scripture interprets scripture, the presentation is biblical in execution and timeless in application.

Drawing exclusively from the Old Testament, Allen expounds the symbolism of Revelation, demonstrating that this is how the earliest readers of this document understood it. Working from these clear guidelines, the author avoids the hype and political overtones that have caused many interpretations to date so rapidly.

Establishing that it is an understanding of scripture rather than an excess of emotion that enables us to come to grips with what God is saying to His Church, he shows that this last great book of the Bible exalts Jesus and declares His people triumphant in this world.

This publication is a must for all those weary of books about Revelation that are redundant by the time they go to press.

This review is from: Unveiling Revelation (Paperback)

This book makes Revelation so easy to understand. If you are a student of study or just someone wanting to know and have a deeper understanding of John's vision---read this book.
I actually bought it by mistake and after reading the preface I had to keep reading to the end. This is a must have for your library.
