Very well structured and logical; His personal opinion appears to be a result of his study and not stand at the beginning of it, so that everyone should be able to read it in an enriching manner (no matter the eschatologic position)

Can't recommend this commentary on Revelation too much! It's fantastic!

An excellent commentary on the book of Revelation from an idealist’s perspective. The author does not see the visions of John as a futurist timeline yet to take place, but instead interprets the book as encompassing all of human history from the incarnation through the present time and on to the end of time culminating with judgment and re-creation of heaven and earth. This interpretive position is amillennial, a view that I did not see myself moving towards, and yet, the more I read about it, the more I am persuaded by it.

But the jury is still out. I have more books on Revelation to read, so my education continues. Meanwhile, Triumph Of The Lamb is a stimulating read and highly recommended.

An excellent introductory level commentary on Revelation. As all interpreters must, Johnson has his position, and you may agree or disagree. However, he graciously interprets other positions on difficult areas, and keeps the focus on the heart of what Revelation is about - The Triumph of the Lamb!

A very good readable commentary on Revelation.

A challenge to how many view Revelation

The author challenges the long-held dispensational view of Revelation and gives a different view held by Augustine. There will be intense persecution against the church before the end, but we shouldn’t get overwhelmed. Jesus will come once, and not twice, to make things right.

Read in preparation for leading a Bible study through Revelation.
An excellent and useful survey of the book of Revelation. Johnson approaches the book from its practical, spiritual, and transformational nature. That is, we should see in the book of Revelation
1) a source of practical comfort in this difficult world and a challenge not to conform to the temptations and lures of sin;
2) the spiritual reality that lies behind the forces moving the the world- both sin and the Lamb, and the spiritual hope that comes from the promise of certain victory;
3) the necessity to be on the winning team, to repent and believes so that the triumph of the Lamb over sin through the cross is our triumph as well.

Much of this book will bear more thought and consideration in the future, especially as we walk through Revelation a verse at a time in Bible study.

Highly recommended.

Compelling.

De esos libros que marcan un antes y un después: me ayudó a empezar a escudriñar las Escrituras de verdad, primero leyendo y meditando y luego completando con su contenido. Entender el Apocalipsis de manera esperanzadora como lo hicieron los primeros cristianos. Muy bueno.

This is a good commentary on Revelation.

This was my introduction to idealism. After studying the futurist and preterist perspectives, this may be the way I'm finally starting to lean on prophecy. Johnson does a very good job keeping the reader interested, which I feel is pretty tough to do in a commentary. I would highly recommend this book if you're not familiar with the idealist perspective.

Phenomenally sick
