The strength of this work is the way it takes some of the best material on the interpretation of apocalyptic generally, and Revelation in particular, and presents it in a palatable, readable form. Johnson knows how to write, and his text is infused with a rare sanity. -- D. A. Carson, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; Editor, Pillar New Testament Commentary series
Johnson writes with masterful skill without losing the reader down exegetical rabbit trails. Triumph of the Lamb is essential reading on Revelation from a man with unique qualifications as a well-loved pastor, New Testament scholar, and now professor of practical theology. This book is itself a triumph. -- S. M. Baugh
Sophisticated but readable, methodically astute but eminently practical. This patient and sane book is an excellent guide for readers who find Revelation attractive but frightening, and for teachers who wish to share its treasures with their people. -- Daniel M. Doriani
Reading Dennis Johnsons commentary one senses the steady, guiding hand of a master exegete, but also the benevolent touch of a caring pastor. Here is a scholar who is able to make the sometimes perplexing images of Revelation understandable and etch them memorably on the hearts of believers. The commentary is marked by faithful exposition, clear and engaging communication, and graciousness in treating the views of other interpreters. Johnson shows in a compelling way how the message of revelation is essential to the church here and now. -- Charles E. Hill
