Description : T he book of Revelation is an unveiling, a vivid disclosure of invisible realities. Yet its bizarre imagery often leaves us puzzled. Dennis E. Johnson deftly guides us through questions about how to interpret Revelation, what it meant to its original audience, and how it equips us today. He explains that Revelation fortifies the church against the Enemy's wiles by disclosing the profound paradoxes of Christ?s victory and glory. The central themes of Revelation converge with Christ's triumph over the Enemy.

"Johnson writes with masterful skill without losing the reader down exegetical rabbit trails. Triumph of the Lamb is essential reading on Revelation from a man with unique qualifications as a well-loved pastor, New Testament scholar, and now professor of practical theology. This book is itself a triumph."

The best all-around commentary on Revelation.  Not as technical as Beale, up-to-date, unlike Hendricksen, but no fluff is found here either.  A very helpful, user-friendly, and pastoral piece of work.  If you buy only one commentary on Revelation, this should be it.
