Book Overview

In this and its companion volume, Dr. Barclay makes the most difficult book in the Bible easier to understand.

The Revelation of John Vol. II - do you have a copy?

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.)

Superbly written; easy to understand

The breakdown of the written text was very informative for me an arm chair catholic bible reader. The recommended interpretations are all viable and the "more likely meanings" of the text seemed well founded. However, a volume 2 would be a great finish to the reading.

Best commentary available for a layperson

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

Excellent , as is volume 1

See my notes on volume 1. The enthusiasm continues unabated
