"Rob Dalrymple's well-researched and well-documented (yet very readable) commentary challenges many of the misinterpretations of Revelation in vogue today. He rightly sees the last book of the Bible as a story of God's nonviolent love in Christ, and therefore a summons to hope and to sacrificial, Christlike witness. This commentary should be widely read and its interpretation taken seriously." --Michael J. Gorman, chair in biblical and theological studies, St. Mary's Seminary & University "The Book of Revelation has long been considered to stand in irreconcilable tension with a core tenet of Christian theology, namely that God is love. Rob Dalrymple's winsomely written and accessible commentary boldly challenges this judgment. He offers a much-needed summons to readers to respond to Revelation not with speculation and fear about the future, but rather with fearless witness and work on behalf of the kingdom of our God and of his Christ in the present.

" --David A. deSilva, distinguished professor of New Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary "Rob Dalrymple's Revelation commentary is mind-blowing, hope-filled, and energizing. The Bible's final word is a letter from King Jesus to his church then and now! The letter reinforces our mission as citizens of the kingdom of God and followers of Jesus. We aren't passive spectators waiting to be evacuated out of this mess. Jesus calls us into the mess as indispensable kingdom agents in God's rescue operation of the world he loves. Revelation jars us awake to the urgency of the moment. Take up and read!" --Carolyn Custis James, author of Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women.
