An Appreciation and Critique of Craig R. Koester, Revelation (ayb 38A; New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2014) with Special Reference to Revelation 15.6-22.21.

This review article is devoted to Revelation 15.6-22.21 in Craig R. Koester's ayb volume on the Book of Revelation. The volume is praised for its exhaustive research, prudent judgments, and textual sensitivity. Among the issues raised are the topics of Revelation's pneumatology, the commentary's somewhat restrictive use of the Johannine literature, the issue of works and grace, and the significance of the kings of the earth in New Jerusalem and the conversion of the nations.
