A helpfully short book which makes the key themes and features of Revelation plain.

Revelation is the stamping ground of many cults. This book brilliantly and concisely helps you navigate safely through the whole book of Revelation avoiding the many pitfalls. Yet encourages you to dig a bit deeper for yourself later.

Anyone who is looking for an easy ABC of Revelation providing quick and easy answers will be disappointed with this book. Revelation is not a message easily interpreted... after all it was a vision. What John Richardson does is to bring his knowledge of Scripture and common sense together to arrive at a very persuasive and natural interpretation. It is not a book about the future - it is a book essential for Christians today. I found it most helpful. It is a book to which I hope to return...again and again.

This is a commentary that I have come back to again and again. I would recommend it to both adults and teenagers. If you think Revelation is just too difficult, don't give up, buy this book. It is short. It is easy-to-read, with helpful charts and a great layout. It is simple. It covers the symbolism of Revelation brilliantly. A must-buy.

It essentially is just an outline of Revelation, attempting to demonstrate structure and logic, the use of symbolism. A key point was that Revelation was designed to be a blessing, not a source of confusion, to the average reader at the time. Jesus is gonna win. Bottom line, whatever it looks like at the moment.

And then he sets out the structure a bit further than that, if you like just enough info to get you thinking then this is the book for you... forget big phat commentaries! It gets 5 stars for its brevity.
