Navigating the Book of Revelation

About the Title

Navigating the Book of Revelation: Special Studies on Important Issues is the first book produced from Dr. Gentry's Revelation Commentary Project's research. In it the student of Revelation will find fifteen special studies on key issues for working his way through John's mysterious book. Some of the studies are technical studies; some are more general. All offer important insights into the preterist interpretation of Revelation.

In this work you will see how John put on the mantle of the Old Testament prophet to confront Israel in her rebellion. You will understand his anger with Israel, paralleling John the Baptist, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel.

You will learn how he denounces Israel for her persecuting Christians and how he "excommunicates" the temple as an idol for Israel. You will learn much about Israel's involvement with Rome against young Christianity. You will also find answers to perplexing questions, such as: "Why did John send such a Hebraic book to Asian Christians?" "How could John view God's temple as an idol?

In addition, you will find an important Appendix that resoundingly answers the charge of Anti-Semitism, which is often hurled at preterism.
