The book of Revelation is the glorious culmination of Scripture. Everything focuses on the one who is the Lord of glory Jesus Christ. As Joel Beeke observes, 'Richard Brooks comes afresh to the message of Revelation with a warm, pastoral exposition that feeds the hearts as well as the mind of the reader. This volume is practical, clearly written, and easy to understand. Above all, it points us to the glorious victory that awaits all those who faithfully follow the Lamb of God'.
The interpretation of the book of Revelation has led to a vast array of prophetical and historical schemes that have deterred many Christians from serious study. This volume will help prevent us from being deterred. The visions are clearly explained, and there is, throughout, good application.
Former tax-inspector Richard Brooks reports for Private Eye on a range of subjects and has contributed to the Guardian, the BBC, and many other media outlets. With David Craig he was co-author of the bestselling Plundering the Public Sector. In 2008 he was awarded the Paul Foot Award for Investigative Journalism. He lives in Reading.
Um comentário simples e devocional, porém muito instrutivo sobre o livro do Apocalipse. Em certos aspectos similar ao "Mais que vencedores", de Hendriksen. Perspectiva amilenarista.
A wonderful devotional commentary on the book of Revelation. This book keeps the major theme of the book before you at all times--The Triumph of Christ and of His Church.
Don't bother with this one. Rather buy the later 'The Final Word' by Steve Wilmshurst, (This in the same series, so I gues the publishers had their own reservations as to the value of this book.) The author's use of phrases such as 'at the risk of appearing simplistic or a know all, surely the matter is quite clear,' (page 129), are particularly irrirating!
