Advance Praise

"What an exciting and engaging exploration of the book of Revelation! Shane Wood reminds us what this book is all about: a revelation of Jesus Christ. He doesn't give you all the answers—but he ensures you are asking the right questions."

-Ian Paul, author of Revelation: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries)

"Shane Wood's Thinning the Veil offers a thick exposition of the book of Revelation. The book is historically informed and exegetically rich yet offers an accessible explanation to one of the most mystifying books in the Bible. Wood's approach combines textual analysis with takeaways and practical tips for reading that will enrich readers of the New Testament."

-Michael F. Bird, deputy principal at Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia

"This book preaches! Nothing like a traditional commentary, Thinning the Veil speaks to the heart, opening up the book of Revelation as it is meant to be done—one eye on the text, the other on our lives. Deeply aware that the last book of the Bible does not offer fortune telling cartography but aims to soften our hearts to the intimacy of a crucified and risen King, Shane Wood opens our eyes to just how tantalizingly thin the veil between heaven and earth has become in our incarnate Lord. Meditate on this book; it models a combination of scholarly depth and spiritual direction."

-Hans Boersma, professor at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin and author of Pierced by Love

"It truly is difficult to overstate how poetic, prophetic, and breathtaking this accessible journey through John's Apocalypse is. Not only did it help me read the revelation of Jesus Christ better historically, theologically, and exegetically, but I walked away with a deeper love for God. Shane Wood has written a masterful book that deserves a wide reading."

-A.J. Swoboda, associate professor of Bible and theology at Bushnell University and author of The Gift of Thorns

"Too often, focus on finding a 'road map' for the end times misses the truth that Revelation is about Jesus Christ! Shane Wood does a marvelous job unveiling Jesus in this challenging Bible book. His moving illustrations and strong applications draw the reader into the heart of Revelation and, indeed, into the very heart of God. Accompanying tools (including videos) present practical ways to enter Revelation's text in a transforming way. Well-researched and compellingly written, this book offers insights for those new to Revelation and those who already love its revelation of Jesus."

-Dana M. Harris, professor and chair of the New Testament department at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
