Perhaps no other book of the Bible has been so misinterpreted and misunderstood as the book of Revelation. Already in the early church, false teachers used this book to introduce millennialistic views into the theology of the church. False teachings about the book of Revelation still persist to this very day.
In Revelation: The Distant Triumph Song, Dr. Siegbert W. Becker rejects the historical-critical method of Bible interpretation and instead uses the grammatical-historical method. Following the original Greek text, he interprets Revelation's highly symbolic language in light of the book's own outline--and in keeping with what the rest of Scripture says.
As a lecturer and teacher of Bible courses, Becker knew the challenging nature of Revelation for his students and all Christians. His commentary is not meant only for scholars and pastors. It's written in a style anyone can follow and understand and addresses many of the questions about Revelation asked by seminary students in classrooms and laypeople in Bible study courses.
