As usual, Homer Hailey is ever the teacher. This commentary on The Revelation is concise and well-developed. His intro is worth the price of the book.....but, I am convinced that the value of the book would have been immeasurably increased had Mr. Hailey taken pains to critically examine the claims for a late 1st century date. Had he done so, I am further convinced that, with his consummate skill as an expositor, he would have provided an even better commentary that hinges on the early date. As conservative a development of the 1000-year nonsense as you will ever read!

Definitely a must read.

Homer Hailey's treatise on Revelation is one of my two favorite books on Revelation. It is clear, concise, and to the point.

I found this book written before all the Left Behind Hullabuh to be very refreshing and straigt forward. There seems to be more interpretation using the Bible rather than other authors as much as the more recent books on Revelation. I found it as a reference in another older commentary and was pleased that I found this one. I have more tabs in this book for points to use in teaching than any of the other books I have recently (in last year) purchased.

This book is the best commentary on the Book of Revelation that I have read. The Introduction and Historical background alone are worth the price of this book. The first part of the book discusses among other things, the date this book was written, symbolism, interpretations, theme and purpose of the book. The second part a complete passage by passage commentary. After a thorough reading and studying of the first part, the commentary is easy to understand by the average student. A scholar of the Bible will find this book very useful. Mr Hailey writes in a manner that makes it so easy for the student of the Bible to understand a great part of this book and it's meaning to us today.

This commentary cuts through the mire of cultural stereotypes placed on the last book of the Holy Bible. Simple, to the point, and a continual companion/handbook to revisit over and over and share with others discouraged by the current popular religious trends that abuse John's Revelation.

I would suggest this to anyone who wants to read BIBLICAL reasoning and logic to what the Lord God Almighty was tyring to convey to these suffering Christians of the first century.

This is has got to be one of the best purchases that I have ever made. The book was just as described. I could not ask for better purchase and would use this seller again.
