The Revelation of John 1-6: New Daily Study Bible [NDSB]

Dr. Barclay examines areas such as the characteristics of apocalyptic literature and the nature of Caesar worship. John was, as the author shows, 'soaked and saturated' in the Old Testament, and most of the imagery he employs is drawn from that source. This commentary covers the central issues of the book such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the probable facts about John's exile on the island, and the meaning of Christ's knocking at the door. Volume includes Chapters 1 to 5.
