In this and its companion volume, Dr. Barclay makes the most difficult book in the Bible easier to understand. In his introduction he examines areas such as the characterstics of apocalyptic literature and the nature of Caesar worship, John was, as Dr. Barclay shows, "soaked and saturated" in the Old Testament, and most of the imagery he employs is drawn from that source. Dr. Barclay does more than clarify the meaning of the imagery. His commentary covers many interesting subjects, such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the probable facts about John exile on the island, and the meaning of Christ's knocking at the door.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best commentary available for a layperson,
By
This review is from: The Revelation of John: Volume 1 (Chapters 1 to 5) (Daily Study Bible (Westminster Hardcover)) (Hardcover)
Volumes 1 and 2 of this series are the best commentaries a lay reader of Revelation can obtain and read. Barclay's work is solid, scholarly, practical, readable, and reliable

The Revelation of John Vol. II - do you have a copy?,
By Philip H. Kelly (Miami,FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Revelation of John: Volume 1 (Chapters 1 to 5) (Daily Study Bible (Westminster Hardcover)) (Hardcover)
I was looking for Volume II and am using this "review" as a means to inquire. Volume I covers chapters 1-5. I assume Vol. II would cover chapters 6-18? I would like to purchase Vol. II.(As a small review: Mr. Barclay has taken on the most difficult book and made it much easier to understand.)
5.0 out of 5 stars
Always a good series,
By
This review is from: The Revelation of John: Volume 1 (Chapters 1 to 5) (Daily Study Bible (Westminster Hardcover)) (Hardcover)
Barclay's books are always good and thought provoking. Some of his (Presbyterian) interpretations diverge significantly from Catholic theology, but his historical backgrounds and citations from other literary sources are always informative.
