Revelation (Everyday Bible Commentary Series) - 3rd Edition by Charles C Ryrie (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Revelation is a wild book. It's full of strange hybrid animals with extra wings, horns, and eyes. It contains both descriptions of historical events and prophecies about the future. And it can be difficult to know which parts are figurative and which parts are literal. What we need is a guide--someone who will tell us what's historical and what's prophetic, and explain all the strange symbolism clearly and simply. This is what the best preachers do, but you don't have to wait until Sunday's sermon. Encounter the beautiful depth of Revelation through an enlightening verse-by-verse commentary from Charles Ryrie that's both straightforward and insightful. You'll gain:

• Important historical background
• Insights from the original language
• Explanations of the prophetic symbols
• And more!

You don't have to go to seminary to encounter God in exciting, new ways through His Word. Discover how much more enjoyable your personal study will be with understandable, quality Bible commentary for everyday life.

"This commentary is well organized and very useful in illuminating the meanings behind the imagery and symbolism found in Revelation. It helped me view what is going on in our world right now in light of what has been written in Revelation. I have already recommended it to a few friends and relatives."

-Bethany Tollberg, high school chemistry teacher

"Having this book with you when you are reading the book of Revelation will be a great experience. I really like the included illustrations and charts. This book is a must-have for anyone's library and would be a great help in Bible studies." -Gary Wineholt, retiree

"Whereas many commentators get bogged down debating the merits of other commentaries, the focus of this book is Revelation itself. I would commend this as one of the most accessible resources on Revelation available." -Steven Dresen, pastor
