Commentary on Revelation

This is a 167,000 word, verse by verse commentary on the book of Revelation. This is a serious and conservative study and is suitable for bible students, teachers and pastors. It includes short reviews of most of the modern commentaries on Revelation. It assumes that any interpretation must come from the rest of the bible and that Revelation speaks to every generation of Christians. You can use this commentary yourself either as software or printed and give it to others but do not publish it in book form without my permission. If you find it useful for private study or teaching please let me know. At some point I would like to produce a study guide which will give the main points about each passage.

I suggest that you download the html files, save them and view/print them off-line using your browser, you can use the hyper links to navigate to the various sections. Each chapter has a contents list at the beginning allowing you to navigate to the desired section. Even better download the complete commentary as a zipped rtf (rich text format) file (315k), see bottom of page (rtf files can be read by most major word processors such as Word, Wordperfect and Ami-pro and retain the formatting so that they are much easier to read than mere text files). Unzipped it is about 1MB and 204 pages (A4).
