I kept going back to the title of this book to see if I had misread it . . . I was expecting a commentary on (or interpretation of) the Book of Revelation. But this isn't that. It is, instead, history, context, and a (very) partial reception history of Revelation. Once I acclimated to that idea, I was able to find this reasonably interesting.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
