New Meredith Kline Volume on the Book of Revelation

In a recent post, I mentioned that there were three important new books soon to be published. I was not aware of this book at the time, but soon after learned of it through a good friend (Dr. Andrew Compton). I followed up by listening to a Reformed Forum podcast episode (October 31, 2025) which discussed this gem in great detail.

I cannot say enough good things about this volume. Meredith Kline had written much on the Book of Revelation, but it was widely scattered among a number of publications, many of which can be found here (including mp3s). However there was much work on Revelation by Kline which had not been published until now. It is great to find it all in one place in a book with a quality binding and nice print. Reformed Forum did a great job with the project.

Kline’s books and essays are often tough going, with the common quip (which is often said of Geerhardus Vos as well), that his writings need to be translated into English. But his sermons (published in part two of the volume) are simple biblical expositions of texts from Revelation, and provide a nice primer to Kline’s academic work. The sermons are Christ and gospel centered and demonstrate his ability to explain the apocalypse with such great clarity that you’ll find yourself want to read it again, this time through the new eyes Kline provides. It has been a long time since I read gospel sermons on difficult texts from the Book of Revelation which are as clear, profound, and moving as these—his Easter, Christmas, and Lord’s Supper sermons especially.

The book is divided in four parts:

Part One: Kline’s writings on the Book of Revelation

Part Two: Sermons on the Book of Revelation and Daniel

Part Three: A Reconstructed Commentary on the Book of Revelation

Part Four: Kline’s Insights on Revelation Drawn from Various Sources

If you’ve found Kline’s work difficult and frustrating, the good news is that the sermons provide a basic grid to understand the body of his work. You will never read the Book of Revelation the same way after reading these.

You can buy Christ and His Church Bride Here, but do start with the podcast episode explaining how the book came to be to whet your whistle and get a sense of its value.
