A Commentary on the Revelation of St John - (Black's New Testament Commentaries) by Ian Boxall (Paperback)

About the Book

Part of the Black New Testament Commentary series, this title presents a commentary on the Book of Revelation. It contains an introduction, an exploration of revelation as a visionary text, and pays more attention to the overall structure of the work.

Book Synopsis

George Caird's commentary in this series was a masterpiece of clarity and accessibility, but it many respects it is now dated. This book contains a far more substantial introduction, a greater exploration of revelation as a visionary text and pays more attention to the overall structure of the work. Following the example of Morna Hooker in Mark, Dr Boxall includes excurses tackling subjects such as numerology, the number of the beast and the Millennium. Here is a contemporary commentary which brings fresh understanding to a most controversial book in the Bible.
