As you look to the future for Christ's return, learn how to live now for his glory.
James Boice was known in his pastoral ministry for offering clear, practical, and biblical instruction. Never before published, this dynamic work on Revelation 1-6 gives his final thoughts on the church and on worship, as well as on facing trials in the light of heavenly realities and Christ's return. What does Christ expect of his church on earth? How does he desire his people to worship him? What hope does he give for his people when they suffer?
James Montgomery Boice was a Reformed theologian, Bible teacher, and pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia from 1968 until his death in 2000. He was also president and cofounder of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, the parent organization of The Bible Study Hour on which Boice was a speaker for more than thirty years.
This is a great, very pastoral, walk through the early chapters of Revelation. It's like a slow read with someone who knows the content by heart- he takes the time to look at each phrase, each description, each name or title. What it's not is the kind of big picture commentary that will help you decide between pre, post-, or amillenialsim, or work out which side of the doctrinal fence you sit on. What it is, though, is a book meant to help you apply the content of these chapters to your own life- somewhere in-between a commentary and a written sermon. As with anything by Boice, highly recommended.
