""Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!""—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher

Revelation  is  a  wake-up  call,  not  a  blueprint  for  the  final  apocalypse.  John spotlights corrupt human politics while unveiling the coming of the true King, Jesus Christ. Followers of Christ are shown as witnesses to the coming King and worshipers of the Lamb of God.

In this volume of the New Testament Everyday Bible Study series, Scot McKnight boldly tackles political issues, transcending party lines to expose the danger of equating America with God’s kingdom. Revelation unveils sins that beset first century  Christians  and  still  beset  us  today:  idolatry,  immorality,  and  injustice.  Fortunately, the book also provides us imaginative visions of how followers of Jesus are to live when surrounded by these timeless sins.

John tells readers that we are blessed by God if we listen, learn, and follow the words of Jesus, worshiping God alongside the hosts of heaven. Be empowered to courageously dissent against corrupt powers and shine a light in a world of darkness.

In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides:

Original Meaning. Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage. Fresh Interpretation. Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus. Practical Application. Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage.

 

The NIV is used as the primary Bible text but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.

Reviews for Revelation: Witness and Worship in the World

'In a day where there is more confusion and less understanding of the Bible, the Everyday Bible Study Series is like you have a scholar in your pocket able to pull out and give us very practical understanding in everyday non-technical but super insightful. I am using these in every study I am doing for our church now and can't express how much I appreciate Scot's lifetime of wisdom he gives us in this series.' * <strong>—Dan Kimball, author of How (Not) to Read the Bible, on staff at Vintage Faith Church, and VP of Western Seminary.</strong> * 'My favorite geniuses are the type that can communicate complicated ideas to Average Joe's like me. Scot McKnight's 'Everyday Bible Study' series is an elite example of this rare skillset. His short commentaries and Bible studies are robust enough to furnish content for a 40-minute sermon. Meanwhile, the excellent questions at the end of each passage challenge readers to figure out their response. His writings engage mind, heart, and body. This series is a gift to both preachers and congregants!' * <strong>—Matt Smallbone, Lead Pastor, Church of the City.</strong> * 'My former professor is a gift to the Body of Christ! Scot has the unique ability to make New Testament scholarship accessible, compelling, and beautiful. The New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series will enflame your affections for Jesus and increase your desire to read the Bible.' * <strong>—Dr. Derwin L. Gray, founder and lead pastor of Transformation Church.</strong> * 'Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity! Because God has given Scot the incredible gift of putting the proverbial 'cookies' of profound, biblical theology on a lower shelf - without diminishing the divine truisms - in a way that everyone can comprehend, wrestle with, and lean more fully into Jesus as a result. His writing style is engaging, his wisdom is revelatory, and his content consistently increases my affection for this redemptive love story we call the Bible. Dr. McKnight is pretty much a national treasure for Word nerds like me!' * <strong>—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher.</strong> * 'What a gift Dr. McKnight is to the Church! He's long been one of my favorite New Testament scholars because he helps Bible readers see the glory of Christ in everything he writes. The Everyday Bible Study series is no exception; you'll hear his pastor's heart on every page. The carefully researched commentary, insightful study questions, and recommended reading make these Bible studies accessible and deep. The entire series is excellent.' * <strong>—Kat Armstrong, author of the Storyline Bible Study series and host of the Holy Curiosity podcast.</strong> *
