In Revelation, ESV Expository Commentary, Thomas R. Schreiner helps us preach with confidence that Christ reigns, and that the Lamb will keep his church through tribulation to final victory. Volume 12.
We are helped to follow the book’s big movements, and to keep its pastoral purpose in view as we handle vivid imagery.
Why Should I Own This Commentary?
We should own this volume when we are teaching Revelation to ordinary believers who need clarity, courage, and hope. It supports us in staying close to the text, rather than chasing speculation.
We are helped to connect visions to worship, endurance, and faithful witness, so the book strengthens the church rather than distracting it.
It also aids sermon planning, because it keeps returning to structure, recurring themes, and the message for the congregation.
