Synopsis

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it can speak powerfully today.

About this title

From the Publisher:

As we move into the next millennium, the book of Revelation takes on renewed interest. What are the implications of its symbolism--the seven seals, the seven thunders, the seven trumpets, the seven woes, and other vivid images--for Christians today? How are such things to be understood? From the lofty, awe-inspiring events and often cryptic language of Revelation, this commentary draws fresh insight and practical applications for living our faith in this present time.
