Product Description
For the first time in history, the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology focused on a single book of the Bible: the apocalypse of John the apostle, also known as Revelation. Perhaps no book in all of Scripture so exalts the sovereign reign of the Lord Jesus Christ as does Revelation. At the same time, the 20th century witnessed such mass confusion over Revelation that many seasoned Christians know little about its contents.
During this same century, Reformed scholarship brought significant advances to our understanding of the structure and contents of this important book of Scripture. Starting with G.K. Beale’s landmark 1999 commentary, our times have witnessed a number of clear and compelling expositions of Revelation that have shown not only its proper interpretation but have also brought to bear its powerful message.
The need for a clear Reformed witness to the book of Revelation is urgent. Given the confusion of recent decades of interpreting this book, the church needs a sound understanding of this vital message, and through this conference, it is our hope that in these troubled times we will see a return to the Church of the power intended by the Holy Spirit through the book of Revelation.
The pre-conference considers broad themes in Revelation, and Dr. Cornelis Venema provides clear guides for interpreting this Christ-exalting book.
This download includes the pre-conference message, "Christ's Present Coming to the Churches" by Cornelis Venema.
