“Audacious, entertaining, insightful, readable, brilliant in scope and execution, Gerald Stevens’s Revelation will be the next textbook I use for my class on the book of Revelation. . . . Stevens shows that John simply is telling the gospel message in a different form for a new situation that speaks to John’s own audience and ours today.”
David A. deSilva, Trustees’ Distinguished Professor of New Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary, Cleveland, OH
“Stevens has written a guidebook to Revelation and its interpretation that is both compendious and highly accessible. . . . Hundreds of well-chosen photographs and illustrations help the world of Roman Asia Minor and of Revelation itself come alive. We are indebted to Stevens for opening up his classroom to all of us.”

“Gerald L. Stevens brings an exacting, pedagogical focus to three related issues: (1) the historical and literary context of the Revelation to John, (2) the history of its reception (especially in modern America), and (3) the enduring value of John’s visions. In treating those questions, he has developed a subtle and comprehensive defense of the place of the Apocalypse within a mature, Christian imagination—as well as a trenchant critique of dispensationalist claims.”
