In this exposition of the Book of Revelation, George Eldon Ladd treats the Apocalypse as a true prophecy, one that reflects the situation of the church at the time the book was written and that reflects as well the situation the church will face at the time of the consummation of God's redemptive plan. Beginning with a brief introduction, Ladd discusses the subject of authorship; the date and historical setting of Revelation; and the various methods of interpretation (Preterist, Historical, Idealist and Futurist) that have been applied to the book throughout history. The introduction is followed by an analytical outline of the Book of Revelation; the commentary itself proceeds verse by verse.
