Opis

Victory in Christ is an in-depth study into Revelation's "opening story," contained in chapters 1-7. Spiritual victory (nike) is the thread that ties the opening visions together. At the heart of this story are four horsemen, part of the seven seals. As the textual evidence bears out, the riders bring forth Christ-centered messages that are intended to prepare the church for God's kingdom. The reader will appreciate the well-documented and easy-to-read style. This work is endorsed by Bible leaders from an array of persuasions. Regardless of one's interpretation of Revelation (e.g., Historicist, Futurist), the student of Scripture will find value in the Christocentric emphasis. "This is a genuinely Christ-centered work with both devotional and scholastic value." Lt. Col. David DePinho, Chaplain (non-denominational), USAF. "No matter how Christians interpret and use the Book of Revelation, all of us should take a Christ-centered approach, as the author urges us to do." Robert Van Voorst, PhD., Professor of NT Studies, Western Theological Seminary. "The author has taken a sober, evidence-based approach to the text...Best of all, this is probably the most spiritual and Christ-centered reading of this part of Revelation I have seen." Jon Paulien, PhD., Dean-School of Religion, Loma Linda University.
