Revelation may be one of the most perplexing books of the Scriptures, but despite its challenges its witness is clear. Through a panoply of images, the apostle John shares a sacrificial theology of the Lamb of God that generates the central theme of God's exultation in Revelation. Dr. Louis Brighton interprets the features of John's vision in light of similar images elsewhere in Scripture and appeals to the views of other theologians from the early church down to the present. Brighton dissects Revelation as an esoteric, apocalyptic, and fundamentally prophetic text concerned with both the despair of sin and the exultation of the ascendant Christ and His work. Brighton shows that Revelation is not about some distant future, but is about the present life of the church amid the turmoil of world history. It inspires Christians to be urgent and faithful in their proclamation of the Gospel, no matter how fierce the opposition, because of Christ's comforting promise: "I am coming quickly!" Features A Summary of the Christology of Revelation An Introduction to the missiology of Revelation Adheres to "recapitulation" or cyclic chronology for the narrative of Revelation Essays On the Millenium On The Lamb of God in Revelation Angelic Mediators in Jewish Tradition and the Book of Revelation About the series The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text. The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text. The foremost interpretive lens centers on the unified proclamation of the person and work of Christ across every Scriptural book. The Commentary fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; Each passage bears witness to the confession that God has reconciled the world to Himself through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ His Son. Authors expose the rich treasury of language, imagery, and thematic content of the Scripture, while supplementing their work with additional research in archaeology, history, and extrabiblical literature. Throughout, God's Word emanates from authors careful attention and inculcates the ongoing life of the Church in Word, Sacrament, and daily confession.
