Another excellent work by Efird

Provides an in depth and scholarly (yet highly readable), explanation of some of the more mysterious apocalyptic writings. James ("Mickey") Efird is something of a "state treasure" here in North Carolina: He has long worked as both a scholar/professor at Duke Divinity School, and as a teacher/special lecturer in numerous individual congregations. Not all may agree with his school of thought, but for me, it advanced my appreciation of the Bible.
