Summary: The definative Amillennialist Revelation Commentary
Comment: In the United States today, the dominant view among Christians concerning the end-times is something very similar to the "Left Behind" scenario. This commentary on Revalation gives a completely different, centuries-old amillennialist interpretation of one of the most difficult books of the Bible.
Brighton is a professor emeritus at Concordia Seminary in Saint Louis (and one of the nicest people--student, prof. or other--that I've met on campus) and has an extrodinarily high reputation in the New Testament department. His commentary is based on the Koine Greek, which is translated into English. Any awkward translations of unique word usage is explained to the point that, by the end of the book, one is able to see Semetisms in John's hasty writing.
As far as the text goes, Brighton masterfully lays out his amillenialist view: that the seven seals, trumpets, etc. all introduce the same period of time (not following strict chronology) and that these visions all represent what is happening in the church today. Symbols are clearly explained and frequent reminders are provided so that the reader doesn't get confused trying to keep them all straight.
For many people, the thought of the end of the world is quite frightening. Brighton's Revelation commentary is Christ-centered and has a clear focus on the Good News of life eternally with Christ in heaven. Instead of feeling fearful as I read eschatological prophesy, I found myself longing for Christ's return. Highly recommended.

Summary: Sound exegesis, great study aid
Comment: Dr. Brighton does a wonderful job of presenting an interpretation of Revelation from an amillenialist viewpoint. He clears up many of the controversies surrounding the book of Revelation with careful exegesis of the text and proper matrixing of related Scripture. Pastors, seminary students, and laypeople alike will find this book to be very useful in their own study of Revelation.

Summary: Revelation (Concordia) Commentary by Louis A. Brighton
Comment: It is rare for a biblical commentary to "catch on" so to speak,
but it is evident that this is an exception. It went into a third printing in less than a year. This is the definative
commentary of Revelation for any student of the Bible. I have
not heard of any scholarly detraction of this work from the academic community or from the discerning layman. Dr. Brighton
is Professor Emeritus at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO. I know that he is sought after to lecture on the Book of Revelation both here and abroad and often does so. I gave friends and relatives this book as a gift.
