“You cannot understand any individual passage in Revelation unless you understand the book as a whole, but you cannot understand the hook as a whole unless you understand its individual passages.”
― Dennis E. Johnson, Triumph of the Lamb: A Commentary on Revelation

“Revelation is, as its Greek title implies, apocalyptic-not in the modern sense of "catastrophic" but in the ancient sense of "unveiling, disclosing" in vivid, visual form the invisible realities and forces that drive and therefore explain the course of observable historical events.”
― Dennis E. Johnson, Triumph of the Lamb: A Commentary on Revelation

“The philosophy which Paul spurns is that reasoning which follows the presuppositions (the elementary assumptions) of the world, and thereby is “not according to Christ.”
― Greg L. Bahnsen, Always Ready: Directions for Defending the Faith

“Christians are called to be Bible interpreters, but our interpretations must not be based simply on “what I want the Bible to say.” We need God’s Spirit to discipline our reading of Scripture.”
― John P. Burgess, Confessing Our Faith: The Book of Confessions for Church Leaders
