In this new edition, now based on the text of the NIV and Nestle-Aland, Mounce has revised and expanded his work to reflect more than twenty additional years of mature thought on Revelation and brings his work up to date with the latest scholarship. Engaging various approaches to interpretation common to apocalyptic literature, Mounce steers a middle course believing this to be the way the ancient text spoke to the first-century churches and the way it still speaks to us today.
