Introduces The Book of Revelation to the Bible Student

The book of Revelation is one of the most controverial and discussed books of the Christian bible. It is a book written by the Apostle John around the turn of the first century. John was exiled on the island of Patmos when he received the visions that he recorded in his book. John's vision is written in symbolic terms and therefore is open to multiple interpretations. Lewis Foster takes the Bible student through the Book of Revelation a chapter at a time, and often a verse at a time. His interpretation is a summary of the majority scholarly opinion on Revelation. The reader is given a basic foundation on the book that is applicable to further study. Foster's Bible study is by no means exhaustive in discussing all the possible interpretations of the book. Rather, this is his interpretation based on years of study of Revelation and many other commentaries. Again, it is the standard accepted interpretation of Revelation. Personally, I believe Foster has a sound, rational and well-thought out interpretation of Revelation, and the Bible student cannot go wrong with this book. I recommend this book as a starting point of study in Revelation. I also recommend Lewis Foster's other two commentaries of the Gospels of John and Luke. Jim "Konedog" Koenig
