Reviews
'...[Reading Revelation] provides many fresh insights. What Campbell has offered, is a complete and coherent biblical theology of Revelation, undoubtedly fruitful to use for theological students, teachers and researchers, so that contemporary readers become competent readers...' Rob Van Houwelingen, European Journal of Theology, April 2013. 'Gordon Campbell's impressive study... is a masterful interpretation, detailed and rigorous.' Ian Boxall, The Expository Times, Volume 125, No.2, November 2013 'Campbell's approach is to seek an understanding of Revelation from within the text itself, rooted as it is in both the Old and New Testament Scriptures. [...] He discerns a number of themes running through Revelation which bind the book into a coherent literary work rather than a collection of disparate elements or detailed prophecy of the future.' David McKay, Reformed Theological Journal, 2013 Issue [Reading Revelation] offers fresh understandings of Revelation. Its copious endnotes, rich bibliography, indexes of Revelation passages, other biblical references, ancient Greco-Roman literature, and themes enable the reader to cross-check the meanings of a specific text or a vision or an event. Readers will find this carefully researched work enlightening and rewarding." Daniel Jeyaraj, Liverpool Hope University, in Theological Book Review (tbr), Vol. 25, No.1, 2013 "Gordon Campbell has written a comprehensive and useful analysis of John's Apocalypse [...] Campbell's reading of Revelation is intrusive at many points and will prove useful to students of the Apocalypse who have long pined for a fresh perspective on this perplexing book." Andrew R. Guffey, Modern Believing vol 56, issue 1, January 2015
