"The general idea of this letter is to demonstrate that Jesus amply fulfills all the highest conceptions of the Jewish religion, and is infinitely superior to any predecessors... There is, therefore, for those who belong to Christ far greater privilege in knowing God, but far greater responsibility in serving him loyally".
Originally published as part of Letters to Young Churches.

Phillips, in the Preface to The Book of Revelation:
"In this book the translator is carried into another dimension... He is carried, not into some never-never land of fancy, but into the ever-ever land of God's eternal Values and Judgements".
"Although the majority of Christians quite cheerfully accept the inclusion of this mysterious book within the New Testament canon, my strong impression is that very few of them have read it in any detail."
On Revelation, from the autobiography The Price of Success:
"Certain themes emerge distinctly for the modern reader's profit:
(a) The absolute sovereignty of God, and his ultimate purpose to destroy all forms of evil.
(b) The inevitable judgments of God upon evil, upon the worship of false gods, which include riches, power and success.
(c) The necessity for patient endurance, the ultimate security being the knowledge that God is in control of history
(d) The existence of reality, represented here under such symbols as the New Jerusalem, set apart and secure from the battles and tribulations of earthly life, promises complete spiritual security to those who are faithful to God and his Christ.
