It offers a balanced, constructive interpretation of the book in the context of the whole New Testament. Believing that the correct interpreation of the book rests upon an understanding of its historical background, Dr. Summers discusses the nature of apocalyptic literature, several methods of interpreting the book, the historical background of Revelation, and its actual interpretation. He believes that as the Spirit led John to write for the needs of first-century Christians, the Spirit can lead contemporary Christians to understand the significance of that writing for all time.

revelation-commentaryIn the words of author Homer Hailey, “The Book of Revelation has a concrete setting in a definite period of history and deals with actual problems which Christians faced late in the first century.” Various symbols display the reality of powerful moral and spiritual forces involved in a violent clash in which the forces of God are ultimately triumphant.

The Saints of that day found much encouragement and gained the crown of victory. But the message in the Book of Revelation continues to instruct and edify God’s people today. It reveals the principles of victory through righteousness and truth, and the ultimate fate of all that is false.

According to Hailey, “Some of the prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, such as the passing of the current order, the resurrection of all, the judgment of the just and the unjust, and the final reward and punishment of both the righteous and the wicked. Consequently, these future aspects of the book of Revelation are to be recognized.”

The first section of this commentary discusses the author, the place of writing, symbolism, the dating, and various interpretations, theme and the purpose of the book of Revelation. The author provides the historical background for the birth and early years of Christianity. Then follows a verse-by-verse commentary, anchored in sound scholarship.

This enlarged 10th printing contains a valuable catalog on the nearly 90 symbols found in the book of Revelation, together with a comprehensive subject index. For readability, the page size has been slightly enlarged. A significant essay in which Hailey shows the relevance of the book of Revelation to the 21st century world, rounds out this volume.
