Centuries before anyone could make sense of these fantastic warnings, the prophets declared that the mysteries of Revelation would not be understood until the Last Days. Verse by verse and chapter by chapter, Jack Van Impe, reviews John's portrait of history's final claims.
Review Summary: Van Impe's Revelation Revealed is a Good Study in Revelation
Date: 2007-07-19
Details: Jack Van Impe has written a wonderfully concise and understandable book on the mysterious Biblical book of Revelation. Revelation is the last book of the Bible, written by John in his last remaining years, while exiled on the island of Patmos. Revelation is written in a highly symbolic manner, and it is the understanding of these symbols that makes this such a controversial book. Once the symbols are understood, and this is what Van Impe does, the Book of Revelation makes perfect sense.
Van Impe takes Revelation verse by verse and proceeds from the beginning to end of the book explaining the symbols of the book, giving applicable history as needed, and relating how Revelation is relevent today. It makes a very good Bible study.
For the reader who wants to understand Revelation, this is a great place to start.

Review Summary: Outstanding biblical study
Date: 2004-09-29
Details: Dr. Jack Van Impe presents an outstanding verse by verse study of the Book of Revelation. He does not give just give his opinion, rather he shows the reader how to come to understanding of the sometimes difficult verses of the Book of Revelation by relating them to verses in other books of the bible.
One review of this book suggests that Crisis and Catharsis by Adella Collins will give you a better understanding of this book. But Collins in this book seems not to believe the bible is the word of God and seems determined to prove John did not author this book.
If you believe the bible is the word of God, then this book is for you if you want to understand the book of Revelation.

Details: Another outstanding book by Dr. Van Impe. He reviews Revelation verse by verse with excellent comment backed by his years of study. Simply excellent!
Review Summary: Historicity vs Theology
Date: 2003-02-11
Details: van Impe grasps frantically for any kind of connection and he proves nothing but that his imagination is top notch and that presupposition is his method. He seems to be picking up the leftovers of Hal Lindsay's failed "prophecies." If you want to know what Revelation means, read Crisis and Catharsis by Adella Collins. This is a scholarly but readable book on revelation.
