Summary: A Great Classic, but Mounce won't commit!
Comment: I know that my review will be completely "out of sinc" with most others, but I think there is something about Mounce's book that everyone should know BEFORE they purchase it. I am currently preparing a special study for an advanced class on Revelation. My books on Revelation have multiplied from about 5 to over 30. Almost every leading scholar and serious student lists Mounce's commentary in the top 5 and many either #1 or #2. And Mounce's book is full of information on the many different ways of looking at various issues in Revelation. BUT HE WON'T COMMIT! I have been very frustrated with his book when he just lists the various way of looking at something and then won't say what his view is. That is the reason I got his book -- to know what he thinks. Before you buy this one realize that it is a great book that just won't commit. I'll appologize in advance to those who are offended by my comments. I know that to many saying something negative about Mounce's book on Revelation is like taking a shot at Bounds on Prayer. God bless. Mike

Summary: A very helpful commentary
Comment: A very helpful commentary. Mounce consistently helps the reader to avoid overly allegoristic and literalistic interpretation. Mounce provides good background material, but I find his frequent allusions to mythological ideas as possible sources annoying and unhelpful. Overall, however, this is a helpful commentary and worth reading. Probably the best commentary from a premillenial perspective.
Rating: 4
Summary: A classic
Comment: I regard the first edition of 1977 as a classic commentary on Revelation. If you already own the first edition it is not really worth upgrading to the revised edition. For the scholar Mounce has been overtaken by the much larger Beale. However for the student Mounce is still one of the best commentaries available, I used Mounce more than any other commentary on Revelation I owned and I would recommend it.
