How to Read the Apocalypse

by Jean-Pierre Prévost

The fascination of the Book of Revelation, which tends to increase with troubled times, especially towards the end of a millennium, is justification for a whole volume of the Howto Read series to be devoted to its content. The result is a new and fascinating approach to Bible study. The author offers five 'keys' for understanding the book, derived from study of its background and content, and then applies them to interpretation of the most famous chapters of the Apocalypse. Having learned this approach, readers are then in a position to understand the material not covered in detail.

[Charlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This small book, easily passed over on a library book shelf, in fact contains stunningly clear yet profound advice for reading the Book of Revelation (the Apocalypse). It steers clear of prophetic speculation to concentrate on the literary and theological features of the work. It really does invite the reader to study Revelation for herself by providing gentle guidance and good examples. Suitable for personal study, church groups, or the classroom.

It is so easy to read without being simplistic. I appreciate its balanced view and how it it lays all the focus on Christ, the the core theme of the book of Revelation.
