Teaching NT Acts & Revelation: Introduction to Revelation
"The book of Revelation is a great puzzle to many Bible readers" says David Jackman in this introductory video on the book. How are we to understand the images, numbers and language? Jackman begins to help viewers understand Revelation by explaining what sort of literature it is. He says it is a revelation or uncovering, from God, conveying realities which we would never otherwise know or understand, it is about Jesus Christ and written for his people, it is the testimony of Jesus Christ and it is prophecy.

This teaching series is based on the Cornhill Training Course's core module "Principles of Exposition". In it David Jackman explains how to understand, interpret and teach different Bible genres. Throughout the course he unpacks the literary and theological components that make up different Bible books and then sets worked examples for the viewers.
David Jackman is the former president of the Proclamation Trust, founder of the Cornhill Training Course and was previously Minister of Above Bar Church, Southampton. In his 'retirement' he continues to have a teaching ministry across the UK.
The Cornhill Training Course is part of the Proclamation Trust, whose main aim is to teach the Bible to preachers in order that they can in turn teach it to others, as well as to provide a fellowship of like-minded evangelicals across the denominations for encouragement in this work.
