I love this Bible Study of Revelation by John MacArthur!

This is the first study I have done on my own. I have regularly attended Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) classes for many years and like how in-depth but personal it is. This study from John MacArthur is very much the same.

The study leads you verse by verse through the scripture and gives you enough background to make it truly meaningful. Whether you are new to Bible study or have studied the Bible for years, you will get a lot from this study.

I have never enjoyed Sunday School at church, even as a brand new Christian, because they did not get to the meat of the matter. John MacArthur allows the reader to dig deep into the Bible with this study. After each section of Revelation there are questions to answer that make the study personal for the reader. Then it is followed up by a short reading and a few questions of a complimentary passage of scripture from other books of the Bible, both Old and New Testament.

It has really whet my appetite for more private study. I'm in Sunday School Bible study again right now and I can't wait for it to end so I can pick another MacArthur study to do.

I have a copy of the older version of this study.

I like the way the book is laid out chapter to chapter.

1. It starts with a question to consider.

2. Then it gives text the to read. (It's nice to have it in front of
you).

3. Then it asks questions based on the text.

An added bonus is the explanation of words in the text to the side. It is like having a exhaustive word study included.

I would recommend this study to any believer or unbeliever.

Our study group is finding MacArthur's study thorough, well arranged and full of useful commentary. The questions are well written to provoke in-depth discussion.

Wow, John MacArthur puts the cookies on the lower shelves for us. I got so much out of this book. I'm recommending it to our Bible study group as a "must read and study". I sincerely believe the Lord will return soon and am eagerly looking for His coming. Maranatha!

Just completed presenting my first bible study on Revelation using John's book as our study guide. I also used Jet Tour Through Revelation CD from Grace to You for the audio portion of the study.

The study had 14 people in it and each had their own study guide. We conducted the study over 13 weeks. Everyone loved John's presentation in the guide and especially his marvelous footnoting of the symbols in the passages.

I am repeating the course again and have just ordered 20 more books to be distributed to the students.

Excellent presentation of a difficult book.

Excellent series! This Revelation study guide is rich with its in-depth trip into the Scripture. Amazon has done us all a big favor by including the MacArthur Bible Studies available to purchase. Oh yes, a great purchase price also!

Very good service received. I highly recommend books by John MacArthur. I have all of his commendary books (that he has out at this time) and many others by him. I have to give them all an A+.

This book was in excellent condtion and affordable. The study itself is complete in that the Bible section needed to complete each lesson is reprinted in this book itself. The author of the study book is careful to be accurate in the content of the study while not getting bogged down in all the various 'hype' items related to the book of Revelation. I do recommend this book for a good solid biblically accurate study of this subject.

...but it's my own fault. For a more in-depth exegesis of the Book of Revelations, I'll need to get MacArthur's commentary on it.

Having said that, even just scratching the surface of the Book with this study guides contextual and historical sidebars has given a me more mature understanding of Revelations. What surprised me the most about the Book was the profound sense of hope it gave me that things will be put right.

This study guide is intended to cover the Book of Revelations in a twelve week period, which means that longer chapters get their own chapters in the study guide, while two shorter chapters may be covered by a single chapter and associated reading assignment in the study guide. Each chapter is arrainged so that it opens with some questions, usually personal questions directed at the reader. The chapter will then ask more questions to be answered from the text. The text of Revelations is included in its entirety in this guide. The text is presented verse by verse with small sidebar comments throughout. Following the text are more questions reviewing what was read, and finally, a few more questions pertaining to applying what has been read.

It's logically laid out, although I found some of the questions to be worded in less than ideal ways.

If you're a believer in and follower of Christ, this study guide will almost certainly improve your understanding of the Book of Revelations.

My husband is teaching a Bible study on the the book of Revelation and this book has been such a great resource for him.
