The Seven Sermons in Revelation Made Relevant for the Church Today

"This useful and well-researched book offers a persuasive and spiritually enriching reading of the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3. Weima first carefully sets each message within its first-century Roman context and then produces clear, engaging sermons on these ancient messages. The result is a model for the preparation and delivery of accurate and applicable expository sermons on any biblical passage. This book is not only a fascinating and compelling guide to Revelation 2-3 but a helpful textbook on expository preaching."
--Frank Thielman, Beeson Divinity School

"With his trademark care and judiciousness, Weima offers a particularly useful interpretive guide to the seven sermons of Revelation 2-3. He provides engaging historical detail but also presents inviting contemporary sermon models based on the sermons of Revelation. A great companion for teachers and pastors."
--L. Ann Jervis, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

"An excellently detailed analysis of the seven sermons in Revelation 2-3, which Weima clearly demonstrates are not letters. He is right on target in saying that these sermons are exercises in truth-telling not in foretelling. Highly recommended."
--Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary

"With precision and potency, Weima provides an insightful corrective for some misunderstandings of Jesus's sermons to the seven churches in Asia Minor. This is one of the most comprehensive and helpful resources on Revelation 2 and 3, equipping preachers to interpret, communicate, and apply Jesus's timeless instructions for modern listeners."
--Matthew D. Kim, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"Weima explains the truth of the gospel and assists pastors in their task of preaching the word of God. This is the best commentary on the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 written in a long time."
