Believing that the Bible was intended to be understood, John Walvoord presents a verse-by-verse study of one of the most complex books in the Bible. He is thorough in pointing out the symbolic nature of Revelation while showing that it should be interpreted literally.

No other New Testament book evokes the same fascination, produces wider divergence of interpretation, and is less understood than the book of Revelation.
