Book SynopsisPeter J. Leithart is President of the Theopolis Institute, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
Trade ReviewLong anticipated, Leithart’s typological commentary on Revelation is finally here! In line with the Song of Songs, the Apocalypse turns out to be a love song of sorts. Very much tethered to the first century, it also speaks into today’s political, liturgical, cultural, and theological world. One need not be a prophet to see that we will look back on this commentary as a theological and exegetical milestone. * HANS BOERSMA, REGENT COLLEGE, CANADA *
A landmark volume: Peter Leithart opens the Book of Revelation like no other, showing how it, more than any other book of the New Testament, paints a picture of Christ from the full palette of the Old Testament. Exegetically rich, theologically profound, and spiritually uplifting, this is a commentary that will continue to nourish scholars and lay alike. * JOHN BEHR, VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT, THE NETHERLANDS *
Many commentaries are exhaustive and, frankly, exhausting. Leithart’s twovolume masterwork is exhaustive and tremendously invigorating. His seemingly unmatched knowledge of the whole of Scripture here joins with his thorough probing of the existing scholarship, his expertly constructive theological creativity, and —above all —his wonderful ability to make words sing the Gospel. * MATTHEW LEVERING, MUNDELEIN SEMINARY, USA *
