Originally published in 1928, this book contains a revision of the English translation of the biblical book of Revelation, first done by John Oman in 1923. Oman makes some key changes to his earlier publication, especially with regards to the length and number sections into which he divided the book, as well as some alterations to the translation. The original Greek text is presented on each facing page of the English, and a brief analysis is provided at the end to supplement the longer analysis in the 1923 version. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in biblical commentary and the preservation and transmission of biblical texts.
