What is it about the Book of Revelation? Some treat it like a futuristic comic book. Some consider it is too complex to try to understand. Some worry about getting the interpretation wrong—or worse, on getting it right! Some read it trying to “break the code,” as if John wrote the book in a secret code expecting Christians to try and crack it. And then there are those who are terrified of the book and the images, so they just avoid it altogether. For them, ignorance is bliss. The Final Exodus is a theologically sound, scriptural approach to the Book of Revelation. Authors and podcasters Christine Paxson and Rose Spiller examine questions such as: * Where have we seen this before? * Is this passage meant to be taken literally, symbolically, or metaphorically? * Has this passage already been interpreted somewhere else in Scripture? * Does our conclusion of the passage line up with everything else in the Bible? * Is this passage telling us something new, or is it a picture of something already seen in the Old Testament or in other parts of the New Testament? Using the same careful and systematic exegesis that should be used for interpreting all books of the Bible, The Final Exodus brings clarity and understanding to a book that is often misinterpreted in chaotic and irresponsible ways.
Revelation
The Book of Revelation contains some of the most difficult passages in Scripture. Grant Osborne's commentary on Revelation interprets the text while also introducing readers to the perspectives of contemporary scholarship in a clear and accessible manner. Osborne begins with a thorough introduction to Revelation and the many difficulties involved in its interpretation. He discusses authorship, date of writing, and the social and cultural setting of the work. He also examines elements that complicate the interpretation of apocalyptic literature, including the use of symbols and figures of speech, Old Testament allusions, and the role of prophetic prediction. Osborne surveys various approaches commentators have taken on whether Revelation refers primarily to the past or to events that are yet future. Rather than exegeting the text narrowly in a verse-by-verse manner, Osborne examines larger sections in order to locate and emphasize the writer's central message and the theology found therein. Throughout, he presents his conclusions in an accessible manner. When dealing with particularly problematic sections, he considers the full range of suggested interpretations and introduces the reader to a broad spectrum of commentators. Revelation seeks to reach a broad audience with scholarly research from a decidedly evangelical perspective.
