I say that having spent almost 3 years leading Precept classes on Daniel and Revelation, during which time I logged over 2000 hours of study and preparation (this is not to impress you but to give you some perspective on my statement that Garland's work is the best work ever written on the Revelation). I personally own over 180 commentaries on Revelation and Garland's is (IMO) by far the best commentary ever written on this book. I might also add that while Dr Garland does sell this commentary (print and digital formats), he has graciously made it available online at no charge because his heart is not to make money but to edify and equip God's saints with the truth about this great book which for far too long has been cloaked in mystery and considerable confusion.
That said, while it is a detailed study, it is not highly technical and any layperson will have no difficulty with the material. One physician, a practicing anesthesiologist, said "I gained a very clear understanding of a book which had previously been very mysterious to me." If you are serious about knowing what the Spirit intended for John to convey to God's people, Garland's in depth (~1172 pages) and fair analysis (non-literal interpretations are fairly critiqued) of this great book of the Bible will not disappoint! But be prepared to spend several weeks (even months) on this material which goes into considerable detail. I have recommended this commentary to a number of individuals who sought to truly understand the Revelation of Jesus Christ and the feedback to date has been uniformly positive. If you really want to understand this great book, Garland's commentary will not disappoint! Audio messages are also available to complement your study. Garland approaches the text from a literal perspective and also assesses the weaknesses of various non-literal interpretations. If you have any questions, want to know more or would like guidance on which workshop would be good for you, please reach out to Liz who can guide you through the many amazing resources they offer.Description - Garland's work is one of the best commentaries available on the book of the Revelation. I encourage you all to check them out and pray about it.
