Amongthose who embark on this adventure, most sail no furtherthan the message to the seven churches . . . thus missing thegrandeur of the promises that proliferate in chapters 4-22.”Patterson writes with the strong conviction that preachersand professors can grasp Revelation and expound it fruitfully.To that end he has written this commentary, and in doingso, interacts with a wide array of interpreters of Revelationacross the centuries.
