Navigating the Book of Revelation: Special Studies on Important Issues

Navigating the Book of Revelation: Special Studies on Important Issues is the first book produced from research from Kenneth Gentry’s Revelation Commentary Project. This is not a commentary on Revelation. Rather, in it the student of Revelation will find fifteen special studies on key issues that are helpful for working his way through John’s mysterious book. Some of the studies are technical studies; some are more general. All offer important insights into the redemptive-historical preterist interpretation of Revelation. In this work the reader will see how John put on the mantle of the Old Testament prophet to confront Israel in her rebellion, and will understand John’s anger with Israel, paralleling John the Baptist, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel. The book also details how John denounces Israel for her persecuting Christians and how he “excommunicates” the temple as an idol for Israel. Israel’s involvement with Rome against young Christianity is also explored, among answers to perplexing questions, such as: “Why did John send such a Hebraic book to Asian Christians?” In addition, an important appendix is included that resoundingly answers the charge of anti-Semitism, which is often hurled at preterism.
