Revelation 1-11 MacArthur New Testament Commentary: Volume 32

This is an amazing commentary. We are using it in our Sunday School Class study of Revelation. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about the truths revealed in Revelation or anyone teaching a class on the subject. John MacArthur is an amazing author.

I bought this for my husband who is teaching a class on Revelation and he has really enjoyed it. It has been very informative and helpful. Well written.

While it's true this author is dispensational, premillennial, and pretribulational, neither he, nor anyone else should have to apologize for this viewpoint which best coincides with scripture. This is an exhaustive work which lets the bible interpret the bible. It is full of wonderful expository samples, and yet is readable for just about anyone. I'm sure the second volume is just as good. The author discusses alternative views, and it is evident that he has done much research. While new Christians might be overwhelmed by this tome, new Christians should not be trying to tackle Revelation anyway. For such, "Dragons, Grasshoppers, & Frogs!" espouses almost exactly the same theological viewpoint, while being ten times more simplified and much more practical. (It is also written for teens.) If you are a seasoned expositor of God's Word, MacArthur can't be beat. If not, go with "Dragons..."

The book of the Revelation - THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD - made UNDERSTANDABLE! Not hard and complicated but still sticking to EXACTLY what the text says without a lot of OPINION - this is a good work! Great addition to my library!

John Macarthur's Commentary on the book of Revelation is one the most complete and exhaustive commentaries produced in the last twenty years. The information covered in this book is extremely complete. Though out the book MacArthur takes the futuristic approach to the book of Revelation. He expands on almost every phrase explaining first the main idea behind that phrase and then going on to explain the meaning of some of the specific words. He generally used the Greek word to explain the meaning of the word and how this word can be applicable to us now a day. Though an extensive amount of cross-references MacArthur is able to give the preacher sufficient information to expound and apply the passage to a sermon or Sunday school lesson. Macarthur's analysis of the seven churches is one of the best done, he identifies the correspondent, the church, the city, the commendation, the command, and the council, and in great detail explains each of these points making the teachings behind the seven churches easy to understand. By the use of a great amount of quotes from other scholars we are able to see the view of other scholarly men and how those views are in accord or disaccord with Macarthur's view. This commentary in its 320 pages has the most valuable insights to book of Revelation that can be found anywhere. This book is useful for the layman and to the scholar the same making it an excellent book for the teacher, preacher, student and scholar.
