This collection of nine meditations from renowned biblical
scholar and Anglican Bishop Tom Wright carries Holy Week from its
solemn beginnings to the dramatic conclusion on Good Friday and
Easter. "I hope that these addresses," Wright says in his preface,
." . . will contribute both to the enriched understanding, and also
to the empowered living out, of the vital and inexhaustible events
at the heart of Christian faith." The writings for Palm Sunday
through Maundy Thursday morning, as well as the Easter Vigil, focus
on texts from the Gospel of Matthew; Maundy Thursday evening, Good
Friday, and Easter morning focus on texts from the Gospel of
John.
Clarence Larkin's examination of The Book of Revelation stands as
one of the most detailed commentaries ever created, made unique by
the large tables and illustrations. As with his other intensive
examinations, Clarence Larkin sets out to clarify the many
mysterious chapters and verses for the benefit of Christians
seeking greater insight and knowledge of the holy text. Using his
own system of organization, Larkin dispenses the various messages
and meanings behind the Book of Revelation clearly. Throughout this
superb work of Bible study, all explanations and assertions are
supported by quotations of the scripture. The principle lessons and
stories of Revelation each receive scrutiny, while the various
Sevens - the Seven Dooms, Seven Personages, Seven Last Plagues, and
so on, are explained in enlightening and authoritative detail. The
culmination of more than twenty-five years of study, it is no
exaggeration to say that Larkin's explanations of The Book of
Revelation contain a life's work.
