D. S. Russell looks at biblical and extrabiblical apocalyptic texts and various interpretations and predictions, and presents his criteria of interpretation based on the biblical vision of God s triumph.This is an excellent popular introduction to apocalyptic literature (Daniel, Revelation) by one of the recognized experts in the field. It is readable, timely, and sane. This volume should give a new, but biblically sound, understanding of Daniel and Revelation and should help readers to fit these books into the larger biblical perspective. Gordon D. Fee, Professor of New Testament, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia. . . [Russell] brings his wide knowledge to bear on the nature of apocalyptic thought an its significance for Christians today. In so doing he presents a challenge both to academics who dismiss apocalyptic concepts as irrelevant to the modern Church and to Christians who, unacquainted with the wide spectrum of apocalyptic literature, look for an Armageddon in terms of a nuclear holocaust to precede the kingdom of God. Dr. Russell offers a third way of interpreting apocalyptic hope, notably as presented by Jesus and the apostolic Church in the New Testament. This is a book not to be missed by preachers and laity. George R. Beasley-Murray, Former Principal of Spurgeon's College, London

By the time Comfort and Protest was completed, South Africa was in a declared state of emergency. Within the context of the ongoing struggle in his country, Allan Boesak has written a powerful and urgent commentary on the Book of Revelation. He provides scriptural and historical interpretations, emphasizing that the drama which unfolds in the Apocalypse is played out in history whenever a political ruler claims the allegiance that belongs to God alone. Amid persecution and temptations to despair, Boesak provides a message of hope. He sees that, in the Apocalypse, "John longs passionately for another day, another world. He feels it so keenly that he writes: "That day has come. The church shares this longing, for the tent of God to be among the people. This is what the church has lived and died for, worked and struggled for: justice and humanity and peace and fullness of life."
