problems of the day in which it was written. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series. The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date, and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.,Throughout the centuries the book of Revelation has been subjected to wildly different interpretations. Why? 'Its symbolism belongs to the first century, not to our own age,' says Leon Morris in the preface to his commentary. Here he explains the ancient metaphors and symbols - most important, a slain lamb - in ways that demonstrate their compelling significance for the church today. Show Less
