Unique theological overview
|
|
This is the only book I have ever come across to assess the Apocalypse in terms of its specific contribution as a whole to New Testament theology. i.e. its doctrine of the Trinity, of God, Christology, Pneumatology, salvation, history etc. etc. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone preaching, teaching, or seriously studying the book of Revelation. One doesn't have to agree with every detail to find it insightful, stimulating, and illuminating.

Maddening!
|
|
This is one of the most maddening books I've read recently. The author's work cannot be faulted (five stars for the theology); the problem lies with the editing of the book. If it is intended to be used as a textbook rather than read from cover to cover like a novel, it needs a really good index. It doesn't have one. Worse still, in my 2002 printing, there is no biblical index at all. Trying to find out what the author has to say about any particular verse or passage in Revelation is like looking for a righteous man in Babylon, or, anyway, a needle in a.... I'm sure Cambridge University Press could have done better than this, and the author deserves better from them.
