James Durbin's review in Churchman Autumn 2016 says 'clear and acessible. Each section has a summary sentence, the text, exegetical comments, and points for reflection. Unlike some commentaries, issues raised in the intro are discussed throughout the main body. This is an integrated not disjointed work." Only lack of clarity around millennialism in ch.20. Revelation is a book that strikes fear into the heart of pastors! How on earth to you preach about beasts, harlots, sci-fi creatures, and glittering cities dropping from the sky? The first time I spoke through the book of Revelation, I used a number of resources including G. K. Beale's excellent offering in the New International Greek Testament Commentary series. 1300 pages on the Greek text of Revelation is a lot of material to work, through. I only used Beale's work to drill down on certain verses. When I decided to teach through Revelation a second time, I found Beale's new work: Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, co-written with David H. Campbell. At 500 pages, you may disagree with the subtitle, but compared to his first work this is the Cole's Notes version! Revelation has been interpreted in various ways. Preterists view the book as referring to first century events. Futurists view the book as referring to the future. Beale's view is far more nuanced. He advocates a Redemptive-Historical Idealist view. That is, the bulk of Revelation refers to the ongoing battle between good and evil. Beale does admit, however, that some parts of Revelation point decisively to the future. This is made clear in his interpretation of the cycles of judgment: seals, bowls, and trumpts. While the majority of the seven judgments in each cycle refer to the current battle between good and evil, the end of each cycle always points toward the future. This "Shorter Commentary" contains the perfect amount of detail for pastors looking to seriously wrestle with the text and meaning of Revelation. Each section concludes with valuable "Suggestions for Reflection" which provide easy launching pads for sermons. Revelation shouldn't be ignored. In it, the church is exhorted to remain faithful despite present circumstances. Spiritual reality is often quite different from earthly appearances. Despite chaotic circumstances, God remains on his throne. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
G. K. Beale's monumental New International Greek Testament Commentary volume on Revelation has been highly praised since its publication in 1999. This shorter commentary distills the superb grammatical analysis and exegesis from that tome (over 1,300 pages) into a book more accessible and pertinent to preachers, students, and general Christian readers. As in the original commentary, Beale views Revelation as an integrated whole, as a conscious continuation of the Old Testament prophetic books, and shows that recognizing Revelation's nearly constant use of Old Testament allusions is key to unlocking its meaning. Interspersed throughout the volume are more than sixty sets of "Suggestions for Reflection" to help readers better grasp the relevance of Revelation to their lives and our world today.
