Navigating the Book of Revelation: Special Studies on Important Issues
The Book of Revelation is simultaneously the most difficult and the most intriguing book of Scripture. Because of these twin realities, it attracts great attention from the newest Christian convert to the most erudite biblical scholar.
Unfortunately, too many self-proclaimed "prophecy experts" carelessly leap into the heart of Revelation's drama. In their zeal they seek to get at the exciting action that begins exploding on the scene several chapters into the book. By doing this they overlook John's own stated interpretive clues, thereby causing them to miss his entire point.
In this work Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., author of Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation, highlights some of the important issues for understanding Revelation. In an earlier book, The Book of Revelation Made Easy, he explained the fundamental issues necessary for grasping the main drift of Revelation. In this follow-up work, he builds on those principles in order to assist the reader in Navigating the Book of Revelation.
The author is currently working on a multi-volume commentary on Revelation from the perspective of redemptive-historical preterism. The chapters contained within are summaries of several side-studies that will appear in his commentary. They should help the prophecy enthusiast navigate the mine field that we know as "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" (Rev. 1:1).
