Revelation is the hardest book in the New Testament. With all the numbers, symbols, and images, it’s intimidating (and even scary!) to the average reader. On top of that, there’s plenty of unhelpful material out there. This video gives a quick intro to 3 books on Revelation that are accessible and rewarding. Read these and you’ll be well on your way to understanding Revelation.
Revelation for Everyone by N.T. Wright
Reading Revelation Responsibly by Michael J. Gorman
Revelation by Robert Mulholland
Also, here’s a short essay of mine called “How to Read Revelation in Church.”
