Overview
The book of Revelation is a riveting read--but a persistent question Christians have is, ""What does it mean?"" Pastor-theologian Richard Phillips provides a thorough and penetrating study of each chapter while highlighting the theme of the sovereign rule of Christ over history for the salvation of his church. The apostle John wrote his book with the intention of being understood by real people. Carefully noting how the book's symbolism works, Phillips paints the pictures of Revelation and explains its meaning to readers today. Along the way, readers will see the glory of Christ as the exalted Priest and King for his people, observe the vision of present and future history laid out in Revelation, and discover the powerful pattern of faith by which we may join Christians of all ages in victory.

Reviews
Having recently published a book on Revelation myself, I was excited to delve into Rick Phillips's work on this critical Bible book, and was not disappointed. This book matches, or even supersedes, his other fine volumes in this reputable series... -- Joel R. Beeke President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan The book of Revelation is undoubtedly a challenge to understand, so this excellent systematic preaching commentary will be of inestimable value to the sacred task. -- Harry L. Reeder III Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama Phillips excels in providing not just background and insight, but relevance and real excitement regarding how the book of Revelation might apply today. Managing to avoid silly and crass interpretations, Phillips provides the reader with a tour de force in hermeneutical methodology. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. -- Derek W. H. Thomas Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina; Chancellors Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Georgia; Fellow, Ligonier Ministries
