John’s Use of the Old Testament in Revelation

Gregory K. Beale explores the variety of ways John uses the Old Testament in the Apocalypse. The introduction surveys and evaluates recent studies, which have been divided over the issue of whether or not John uses the Old Testament with sensitivity to its original literary context. The remainder of the book looks at various ways in which John uses the Old Testament, and argues that there is a reciprocal interpretative relationship between the Old Testament and the Apocalypse.

The Johannine Epistles (Sheffield New Testament Guides)

The three epistles of John occupy only five or six pages of an English Bible, yet they are among the most intriguing writings of the New Testament. Were they written by one person or more? In what sort of community did they originate, and what situation are they addressing? What is the background to their thought? How do they relate to the Gospel of John? What is their theological message, and does it have any relevance to the modern world? These are some of the issues considered in this insightful guide to the Johannine Epistles.

Black’s New Testament Commentary: The Gospel According to Saint John (BNTC)

Of the New Testament accounts of the life of Jesus Christ, none remains as enthralling and enigmatic, provocative and profound as the Gospel according to Saint John. Introducing the book’s historical, literary, and theological backgrounds, Andrew Lincoln provides a pericope by pericope exposition of this ancient biography. While maintaining focus on the message of the text, he includes relevant discussion of narrative sequence, likely social function of individual passages, and relation to the Synoptic Gospels. From penetrating analysis of the Christology of the Fourth Gospel to adept discussion of the seeming hostility to the Jews, Lincoln offers balanced approaches to key Johannine issues. Readers along the whole theological spectrum will benefit from this masterful study.

Revelation, 2 vols. (International Theological Commentary | ITC)

The Book of Revelation is the last book in the canon of the New Testament, and its only apocalyptic document, though there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the gospels and the epistles. These two volumes on Revelation offer systematic and thorough interpretation of the book of Revelation. Revelation brings together the worlds of heaven, earth and hell in a final confrontation between the forces of good and evil. Its characters and images are both real and symbolic, spiritual and material, and it is frequently difficult to know the difference between them. Revelation’s cryptic nature has ensured that it would always be a source of controversy. This commentary focuses on the theological content, gleaning the best from both the classical and modern commentary traditions and showing the doctrinal development of Scriptural truths. Scholarship on the book of Revelation has nonetheless not only endured, but even captured the imagination of generations of Bible...

"If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:17).   The resurrection. As far as doctrines go, it's a game changer. Many accept the resurrection without giving it much thought. But isn't something so important worthy of our wrestling with it? What if we approached the issue of the resurrection in an unbiased manner and assessed it as a cold
