Review: Brilliant! For any who already know Peterson's work as author this is a worthy addition. He deals with the intricacies of this tricky book in a masterly way without becoming bogged down in the detail and stangeness of the vision.

Review: St John’s poetic imagery finds itself in great expositional hands, as Peterson’s poetic prose artfully guides us through the book of Revelation. It takes a poet to understand a poet. And I firmly believe that Peterson’s *Reversed Thunder* is a must read for anyone who is wanting to get to grips with one of the most complex and layered biblical books. Seriously, if you want to delve into Revelation, and although this isn’t a “commentary” as such, make sure you have this by your side. So why I have only given this three stars? I don’t know, maybe I’m just feeling a little off because of the bad stomach I currently have. But there are times here when I found Peterson meandering a little too much. I really do love Peterson’s beautiful descriptions and allegorical flair, and he does bring this text across in a relevant, insightful way. However, I found some passages difficult to follow: “How did we get here from the text?” and “Where are we going now?”, were questions I asked a few times. But hey, I stand by what I said: This is a must read and it’ll be something I will definitely make reference too. —Tristan Sherwin, author of *Love: Expressed*
