Summary

The book of Revelation made accessible by one of today’s most trusted theological minds: Eugene Peterson. 
If you are daunted by Revelation’s complexity or confused by its claims, Reversed Thunder brings one of the most difficult-to-understand texts in the Bible into clear view. Eugene Peterson’s eloquent meditation takes a Jesus-centered lens to Saint John’s futuristic vision, in a grounded reading that engages the spiritual imagination, awakens hope for the future, and interprets the truth of these last words on scripture, Christ, church, worship, evil, prayer, salvation, and heaven.  
Peterson writes not as an end-times speculator but as a pastor-poet, translating Revelation’s sometimes abstract imagery and symbols of eschatology into fresh insights for all believers. This commentary reveals itself to be a definitive resource on the topics of end times theology, apocalypse, eschatology, and faithful living today.
