This Hallelujah Banquet

How the End of What We Were Reveals Who We Can Be

By: Eugene H. Peterson

Narrated by: Fred Sanders

In this powerful new interpretation of the book of Revelation, the late, revered author and translator of The Message Bible offers timely insights into how we can lean into growth, not in spite of challenging times, but because of them.

“Insightful and inviting . . . This is Eugene at his pastoral best.”—Rev. Dr. Glenn Packiam, associate senior pastor at New Life Church and author of Blessed Broken Given

The book of Revelation is filled with angels and dragons, fantastic beasts and golden cities, bottomless pits and mysterious numbers. It’s dramatic, sure—but what exactly does that have to do with the tests we face today?

Actually, a lot.

When the apostle John penned the book of Revelation, believers lived in a time of deception and injustice. But his message doesn’t just reflect their cries for things to be made right; it reveals heaven’s perspective of the bigger picture.

In this never-before-published work, Eugene H. Peterson traces the dramatic symbolism found in John’s letters to the seven churches, uncovering Christ’s instructions to these ancient communities. Along the way, encounter seven key tests, of our love, suffering, truth, holiness, reality, witness, and commitment, tests from Christ that can deepen our faith and even shape our future.

This Hallelujah Banquet is your personal invitation to grow deep and begin living now in a generous, abundant, and hopeful reality in Christ.

Vintage Peterson...

When I heard that Eugene Peterson died, my first response was joy for him, as I imagined his reception by Jesus. My second thought was to pray for his family. My third thought was a lament that I would no longer have the joy of anticipating his forthcoming book. If “This Hallelujah Banquet” is your first time encountering the heart and mind of Eugene Peterson, I am excited for you because there is a library of rich spiritual banquets awaiting you in Peterson’s other writings. If you are, like me, an old friend of Eugene, I am excited for you because this book is giving you what you thought you would never have again - a few hours with your trusted mentor and friend Eugene Peterson.

Celebrate our relationship with Jesus

I’m in need of the encouragement Keller provided in this book. Draw me close to You Lord.

Classic Eugene Peterson

This 2021 book is classic Eugene Peterson writing as a pastor about a pastor. "This Hallelujah Banquet" "was created primarily from a sermon series" from 1984 and is excellent both as a starting place for a study of Revelation and for those who wish to return to the wisdom of the last book of the Bible.

EXCELLENT ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wish it was longer

I found myself listening to the same chapter multiple times. My only desire was for more.
