Riassunto

<p>In this and its companion volume (The Revelation of John, Volume 2, Chapters 6 through 22), William Barclay makes the most difficult book in the Bible easier to understand. In his introduction he examines areas such as the characteristics of apocalyptic literature and the nature of Caesar worship. John was, as Barclay shows, "soaked and saturated" in the Old Testament, and most of the imagery he employs is drawn from that source. Barclay does more than clarify the meaning of the imagery. His 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.</p><p>For almost fifty years and for millions of readers, the <i>Daily Study Bible</i> commentaries have been the ideal help for both devotional and serious Bible study. Now, with the release of the <i>New Daily Study Bible</i>, a new generation will appreciate the wisdom of William Barclay. With clarification of less familiar illustrations and inclusion of more contemporary language, the <i>New Daily Study Bible</i> will continue to help individuals and groups discover what the message of the New Testament really means for their lives.</p>
