Description: In these Didsbury Lectures, Donald Guthrie examines the practical relevance of the book of Revelation for the church today. With this purpose in view, he does not elaborate upon the literary history of the book, nor upon theories concerning its relevance for the future. However, his theme leads him to pay substantial attention to a variety of current theories concerning the interpretation of certain aspects of the book. This is essentially a practical book. It offers helpful and challenging insights to individuals and to readers who may wish to use it in sermon preparation. About...

A careful recasting of a benchmark evangelical work, New Testament Introduction provides a fixed point for surveying the books of the New Testament.

In these discussions, as well as in the notes and bibliographies, he draws on a wealth of recent scholarly research which gives added value to this classic resource.
