Brand: SPCK Publishing
Product Description
The book of Revelation has long intrigued puzzled and even frightened its readers. Surely it is the most misunderstood book in the Bible. And some faulty interpretations of Revelation are so entrenched in the consciousness of Christians that they are regarded as gospel truth and provide riveting plot lines for endtime fiction. But behind the ancient multimedia show that is Revelation lies a message both simple and profound told in a language and grammar of faith that was clearly understood by its first Christian audience. Much as a music video would scarcely have been understood by firstcentury citizens though it is immediately understood by youthful audiences today so we are puzzled by and misread Revelation. Paul Spilsbury has studied Revelation in the company of its best interpreters those who have taken the time to enter the minds of the firstcentury Christians for whom it was originally written. And what has he found Amid and within the central images of a throne a lamb and a dragon lies the answer the gospel clearly proclaimed. The nature of God awesomely illumined. The work of Christ memorably embodied. The nature of evil hauntingly disclosed. Here is a guide that will help us hear Revelation speak once again inspiring grateful worship and calling us to costly discipleship.
