Schreiner’s exegetical work is always careful and pastoral. This volume is “substantial enough for serious exegesis but short enough for the busy pastor to read” (Preface). His book includes a substantial introduction that covers authorship, date, genre, structure, and Revelation’s use of the Old Testament. He adopts a unique reading of Revelation 20 he calls “new-creation millennialism.”

Title: A Profound Exploration of Revelation
Schreiner, Thomas R. Revelation. BECNT. Baker Academic, 2023.
As a enthusiast of theological works and biblical exegesis, I am exceedingly pleased with Thomas R. Schreiner's work, Revelation. Published as part of the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament (BECNT) series, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the book of Revelation and has impressed me in numerous ways.
One of the most notable aspects of Schreiner's work is its excellent structure. Each chapter is carefully organized and follows a logical progression, allowing the reader to easily navigate the complex themes and subjects of Revelation. This structured approach contributes to the comprehensibility and accessibility of the book, even for those less familiar with biblical exegesis.
Furthermore, I appreciate Schreiner's dedication to verse-by-verse exegesis. His thorough analysis of each verse provides profound insight into the meaning and context of the text. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Greek language and the historical background of the New Testament, Schreiner succeeds in uncovering the nuances of the text and providing the reader with enlightening insights.
What truly sets this work apart are the enriching insights that Schreiner provides. He goes beyond merely presenting the facts; he offers deep theological reflections and practical applications of the text for contemporary life. His ability to clarify complex theological concepts and make them relevant to the modern reader is commendable.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Revelation by Thomas R. Schreiner to anyone seeking a profound study of the book of Revelation. With its excellent structure, detailed exegesis, and enriching insights, this book offers a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration for both theologians and laypeople.
