"For over twenty-five years I have been inspired by the teaching,
scholarship, and passion of Dr. Robert Lowery. In fact, I still turn
to him for Biblical insights, understanding, and accurate
application. He approaches one of the most intimidating books of
Scripture with the precision of a surgeon and the love and concern of
a close friend. Your intellect will be stretched; your assumptions
challenged; and your soul infused with new hope." Gene Appel, Lead Pastor
Willow Creek Community Church "Popular level guides to the Book of Revelation abound, but most of
them either insist that the last book of the Bible is a road map of
current events or a source for reconstructing first-century history
only. Lowery avoids both of these pitfalls and deftly leads the lay
person or college undergraduate down a safe path to interpretive
sanity. Enjoyably written and peppered with personal illustrations,
this is a welcome addition to a crowded field, and one which clearly
stands out from the crowd!" Craig L. Blomberg, Professor
Denver Seminary "Although the book of Revelation is longer than twenty other New
Testament books and comprises six percent of the entire New
Testament, it is no doubt the least one read, understood, and
applied. But that can change because Robert Lowery brings to today’s
readers the interpretative principles used by the first readers. In
doing so, Christians in every century and culture can read Revelation
with clarity instead of confusion. This handbook is a valuable gold
mine of guidelines for all Christians from the pulpit to the pew,
from the spiritually mature to the spiritual infant, and from the
scholar to the newest student of Scripture. The appendices on the Old
Testament allusions in Revelation and a key to select symbols alone
are worth the price of the book." Knofel Staton, Professor
Hope International University, Fullerton, CA. "Dr. Lowery conducts us deeply into the symphony that is Revelation.
His wise guidance helps us hear the music coming from the throne
room. This deepens our devotion. And then we are drawn to worship in
ways that are practical, pastoral and evangelistic. Just as the Lamb
leads. I can’t wait to hear volumes two and three!" Tony Twist, President
TCM International Institute, Heiligenkreuz, Austria Robert A. Lowery began his teaching ministry at Lincoln in 1975. He
is a graduate of both Lincoln Christian College and Lincoln Christian
Seminary, receiving the Master of Divinity in New Testament from the
latter in 1973. Dr. Lowery also holds a Master of Theology degree
from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. After
returning to Lincoln to teach, Professor Lowery took further graduate
work at Princeton and Harvard Universities. In 1991 he completed the
Ph.D. at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
