"Revelation is a complex piece of writing that has mystified many, and it is no small achievement to write a simple commentary on it that dispels the fog. Dr Barnett, however, has done just this. Drawing on what is now known about apocalyptic style and first-century history, he makes good sense of everything, and so opens up the book for fruitful lay study. Most useful - and highly recommended!" - J.I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver.
