(More customer reviews)So many books have been written about the Book of Revelation. Most just add to the cacophany and discord. This one is truly a sweet melodious addition to a serious study of the Book of Revelation. His use of the metaphor of music truly helps to communicate the original intent and understanding of this book of the Bible in a most unique way.
Rhapsody is the first of what planned to be a 2 volume work. This book serves as an introduction to the study of Revelation and I understand that a follow up volume will provide commentary for the book. Mr. Lowery writes from a well of study that is at least 30 years deep. He is a loved and respected college and seminary professor who has studied and communicated the Book of Revelation and related issues in classrooms and churches all over the country.
I must confess that I had the opportunity and blessing to be one of Dr. Lowery's college and seminary students during the late 70's and early 80's. I also focused my studies on the Book of Revelation. I was excited to learn that he was finally beginning to write a book like this. And of course I thought I had heard all there was to hear from Dr. Lowery and knew all that he might write in such a book. I was absolutely and wonderfully blown away by how deep and wide his understanding had grown as well as his ability to communicate the richness of this scripture since I had studied with him. He writes with a depth and a freshness that only a faithful servant and humble student of scripture could. And he writes with the simplicity of one committed to communicating God's Word clearly to the church.
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the capstone of God's revelation to His church. I anxiously await volume 2 and thank Dr. Lowery for his addition to the study of what has historically been a confusing book to many if not most. Dr. Lowery doesn't add to the "noise" but brings us sweet sweet music. Thank-you Dr. Lowery.
