Conquering with Christ: A Commentary on the Book of Revelation
''Ian Fair deserves our congratulations for producing a definitive treatment of this important Christian apocalyptic writing. The treatment of modern scholarship is impressive and praiseworthy. The extensive introduction lays out in considerable detail the textual, social, and historical background. It includes a helpful outline of the socio-religious and political environment of the Christian churches in Asia Minor at the close of the first century. It rightly places Revelation in the context of Jewish and Christian apocalyptic movements, the theological trend which, in the words of Ernst Kasemann, became 'the mother of New Testament theology.' This excellent commentary provides an invaluable resource not only for scholars and theological students but also for readers in the church.'' --Andrei A.
