Endorsement

Although "More Than Conquerors: An Interpretation of the Book of Revelation" was first published in 1939 it is still widely read today and has become a classic in the field. William Hendriksen, the author, is an amillennialist and his interpretation of the book is primarily spiritual. The purpose of the book, says Hendriksen, is to "comfort the militant Church in its struggle against the forces of evil." By developing this point he shows how Revelation is as relevant to Christians today as it was to John's immediate first-century audience. Much of what Hendriksen says is compatible with the view of postmillennialists who believe that the millennial age takes place from the binding of Satan at the time of Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension until the return of Christ in glory to judge the living and the dead.

"More Than Conquerors" is a fairly brief book that provides an excellent introductory study of the book of Revelation. It is not a detailed verse-by-verse commentary.
