Summary: Interesting
Comment: Malina and Pilch take John of Patmos at his word. They believe that John's vision of the heavens is an astrological vision. According to Malina and Pilch the ancients looked to the cosmos to predict the future and John of Patmos was no exception.

I enjoyed reading the book. The explanations in the commentary are very understandable. The biggest flaw in this book is that there are no notes. There reader is usually left to ponder where the authors came up with their ideas.

Despite not knowing the authors' sources, this was a very enjoyable book to read. It is also one of the few biblical commentaries with extensive illustrations.

If you want to read a very different view of Revelation (not dispensationalist nor historical critical nor even literary critical) this is the book for you. You'll also learn a little about ancient astronomy/astrology along the way.
