Publisher's Description
This commentary helps the reader of the book of Revelation to navigate through the challenges that have so far complicated interpretation of the book. It walks the reader into the four vision halls, Patmos, symbolic heaven, symbolic wilderness, and the symbolic high mountain. Like a trained tour guide, it illuminates the nature and purpose of every symbol and simulation of the things that are and the things that are to come. It identifies strategic acts embedded in the visionary simulations as the major communicative devices that the divine author used to evoke the intended reader responses.

“Dr. Mwaniki Karura’s description of events recorded in the chapters of the book is done with utmost clarity. The strategic acts in each chapter not only makes the book of Revelation clearer and understandable, but also, they illuminate the applications recommended at the end of exegetical analysis of every chapter of Revelation.”
“I salute my former student, Dr. Karura, for the freshness of his study of ‘strategic acts’ in the book of Revelation. As he seeks a new way to interpret divinely inspired visions and dreams, Karura pivots away from a strictly futurist approach. His African voice and his concern for applying the hopeful message of Revelation to the church make this worthwhile reading.”
“This commentary offers a refreshing re-reading of the text of Revelation. It avoids getting embroiled in the divisive, theological debates that have often surrounded this very important book. Although a little technical at times, the methodology uncovers fresh insights that are a welcome addition to lay people and theologians alike.”
“This is an excellent contribution, well written to serve as a textbook in Bible colleges and seminaries, and a useful preparation tool for pastors. Dr. Karura approaches Revelation as a book written to address beliefs and practices of the churches in Asia Minor and relevant in every way for application in our church of today. He helps the reader understand the meaning of symbols used even as he keeps the reading appealing.”
