Book excerpt: C. Freeman Sleeper offers a logical and nonthreatening way for readers to study the book of Revelation. First, he introduces the reader to the basic questions. Then he acquaints readers with matters such as imagery and symbolism, and their use in other texts from the same period. Finally, he deals with the difficult issues of interpretation and the implications of Revelation for Christians today. The Victorious Christ is the perfect guide for non-specialists in search of a reliable and interesting exploration of the book of Revelation. Study questions and exercises are provided to offer additional support.
