Best Christian Bible Study on the book of Revelation?
Anything written by Dr. Jack Van Impe. He has an amazing knowledge of the end times. Also Dave Hunt
Reply:Hello.





I have been studying Scripture for 14 years, with particular attention to the Book of Revelation. I have looked at it from an introductory perspective to a very scholarly one. I would strongly recommend the following 2 books:

This is an easy to read book that gives a great overview of both the history behind the book of Revelation as well as a great summary throughout. It is probably the best introductory book out there on Revelation.





Another book I recommend are the 3 William Barclay books on this page:

He is well known for being both a great writer, a leader in Scripture commentary, and is widely used by churches for their Bible studies.

Reply:Revelation Grand Climax. One of the publications considered each week in the book study, by Jehovah's witness covers a verse by verse study of Revelation and research been done with secular writings etc.

Reply:This guy is awesome when it comes to teaching. His forte is prophecy. You go thru the hole Bible just to verify scripture. Who ever you choose, your in for an awesome treat when it comes to Revelation. He teaches Sola scriptura (Latin ablative, "by scripture alone") ("Scripture interprets Scripture"). His name is Chuck Missler and you can hear his streamline at: (in source). God bless and enjoy your study!
Reply:I know of *no* *good* Revelation study, but I wanted to comment on two suggested by previous answers which I *know* to be questionable.





These are Jack van Impe and the Jehovah's Witnesses.





The problem with *both* of these is that they claim "true knowledge" of prophecy supported by scripture. In order to come up with this *support*, in both cases, it requires a very *unusual* and very *narrow* and very *specific* interpretation of *several* of the supporting scriptures.





In other words, their contentions are largely unsupported *unless* you already happen to agree with their unique and unsupported interpretations of scripture.





Understand that I *cannot* verify that either of them are incorrect. Either one of them *could* be correct, *if*, in either case, every one of their several unsupported unique interpretations of scripture is accurate. However, their assertions of certain knowledge, in *both* cases, are definitely unsupportable.





In other words, the only way either case can be *proven* to anyone is for that anyone to first agree to put faith in the accuracy of those particular interpretations of scriptures. They *cannot* prove their assertion, they can only *believe* their assertion.





There are other "teachers" of Revelation prophecy who also support their assertions with unsupported interpretations of scripture. I can only warn you to carefully examine the support that anyone uses to convince you that their way is the *only* way.

There is free literature. I suggest asking for "The End of The Church Age" and "Time Has an End".





Both books are very well written. The author lets the scripture interpret the scripture. There are no ridiculous visions or dreams that some Pastor or self righteous zealout claims they had. It is purely Bible study.
Reply:Beth Moore has one on Daniel that incorporates a lot of Revelation. I learned a lot from that study. I'll keep checking the answers, it would be cool to do one on Revelation.
Reply:Jehovah's Witnesses currently do a weekly study of the book of Revelation. The book used is called 'Revelation Its Grand Climax'. The study looks at each verse of the 22 chapter bible book of Revelation. We are currently on Chapter 17 and verses 4-8 are being discussed tonight, which is all about 'Babylon the Great'. Contact your local Witnesses the find out your closest meeting. It goes on for one hour a week and there is no charge.
Reply:Good Christian material on this is like gold dust - and getting rarer - because there's so much rubbishy alternatives with unsound ideas in them about nowadays to waste your money on.





However, you could try books by Tim LaHaye - maybe his latest 'Understanding Bible Prophecy'





anything on the subject by Dave Hunt - he's brilliant





'The Day of Vengeance of our God' - Donald C.B. Cameron (PWMI). Bit of a dry writer, but he's very sound, and he does the whole book





'The Revelation of John' The Daily Study Bible - William Barclay (very good but Vol.1 only goes to first 5 Rev. chapters)





'Revelation' - William McDonald (published by Emmaus Bible College) - correspondence course ISBN 0-940293-62-5





and a very old (but very good) one:





'Revelation' - A.C. Gaebelein - he's brilliant, goes back to about 1915 (Publication Office 'Our Hope', 456 4th Ave. NYC.)





Look for these books on the Web, new or secondhand, and you might try visiting the 'Prophetic Witness' website - www.pwmi.org, which also supplies books and is a mine of information on eschatology, from the pre-trib/pre-millennial viewpoint which I espouse and wouldn't advise any other.





You will probably find books from this viewpoint unavailable in most Christian bookshops, because they are not the 'correct' message nowadays and so have been 'airbrushed' out of the system.





Good hunting!
