It's Amazing to Think That This Book Might Actually Offend Some Christians

. . . But it will. This book by Craig R. Koester will make it a whole lot easier to teach my Sunday school class on Revelation without having to go to some modernist debunker to do it. This book clearly honors Christ in its writing while making it clear that Revelation's gift to the church is hope and not calamity. If you're a serious Christian who wants a Revelation that will inspire you through trials that may befall you because of your faith, through out all of your "Left Behind" crap and read "Revelation and the End of All Things" instead. Then pass it on to someone else who needs it.

The Cover Says it All

This book is as good, interesting, and thought provoking as the cover. If you are looking for a great commentary on the Book of Revelation that does not get bogged down in technical language and that is not dispensational hyper sensationalism then this is probably the best place to start.^M

Clearly Accurate; Desperately Needed

Koester has done a masterful job of studying Revelation, one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted books in all of religious scripture. He clearly describes the message of the book and its multilayered vignette pattern; this effectively puts to rest the millennial dispensationalism which is behind such fiction as the Left Behind series. The message of Revelation is faithful endurance in the Christian life in the face of all challenges in any time. He is able to show us that the book is timeless rather than time predicting.
