As fits the genre a large portion of the commentary introduces Revelation and seeks to explain not only how it came about but also some of the history of interpretation and the unique challenges of Revelation.
The author considers the text in a unitary, linear progression, with frequent foreshadowing of final judgment. He seeks to understand the text fully in its context and thus sees Rome as the primary "opponent" in view in terms of the beast and Babylon, etc. He would consider John as premillennial but the proper view of the millennium as amillennial (and does well to show its comparative insignificance in the text as compared to the attention devoted to it in Christendom).
Overall, though, worth exploring when engaging in a full study of Revelation. (
