Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Revelation 1-11

No book in the scripture reveals the glory of God and Christ in more splendor than Revelation.  At the same time, no book has been more misunderstood or neglected.  Yet God wants His children to know this book, and promises blessing for those who study the riches of its divine truth.

Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.

The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day.  Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical.  This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk.

This review is from: Revelation 1-11 MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Hardcover)

John Macarthur's Commentary on the book of Revelation is one the most complete and exhaustive commentaries produced in the last twenty years. The information covered in this book is extremely complete. Though out the book MacArthur takes the futuristic approach to the book of Revelation. He expands on almost every phrase explaining first the main idea behind that phrase and then going on to explain the meaning of some of the specific words. He generally used the Greek word to explain the meaning of the word and how this word can be applicable to us now a day. Though an extensive amount of cross-references MacArthur is able to give the preacher sufficient information to expound and apply the passage to a sermon or Sunday school lesson. Macarthur's analysis of the seven churches is one of the best done, he identifies the correspondent, the church, the city, the commendation, the command, and the council, and in great detail explains each of these points making the teachings behind the seven churches easy to understand. By the use of a great amount of quotes from other scholars we are able to see the view of other scholarly men and how those views are in accord or disaccord with Macarthur's view.

This commentary in its 320 pages has the most valuable insights to book of Revelation that can be found anywhere. This book is useful for the layman and to the scholar the same making it an excellent book for the teacher, preacher, student and scholar.
