About the book
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 apocalyptic 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, and salvation. 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 uplifting biblical commentary reveals itself to be a definitive resource on the topics of end times theology, apocalypse, and faithful living today. This refreshing biblical commentary reveals Revelation to be a book of hope, offering: A Pastoral Approach: Journey through scripture with Eugene Peterson, the beloved author of The Message, who writes not as an end-times speculator but as a pastor-poet guiding his flock. Jesus-Centered Interpretation: Move beyond fear and confusion with a reading that uses a Jesus-centered lens to illuminate Saint John’s vision, revealing its core message of salvation and hope. Theological Poetry: Engage your spiritual imagination with a thoughtful exploration that translates Revelation’s abstract imagery and symbols into fresh, actionable insights for all believers.
