The Apocalypse: Lectures on the Book of Revelation

Originally published in three volumes from 1870 to 1884, J. A. Seiss' lectures on the Apocalypse were among the first popular works based upon the futurist interpretation of Revelation. Considered by modern evangelical scholars to be among the most influential, the collected lectures have been called "a monumental work," "thoroughly scholarly and spiritual," and "the highest type of scholarship." For Bible students, teachers, and Christians of all types, this is the work to turn to for understandable, in-depth explanations of the most intriguing book of the Bible. This new, unabridged edition - a handy one-volume reprint of "The Apocalypse: Lectures on the Book of Revelation" - was lauded by Eternity magazine for "...its scholarship, its devotional spirit, its cyclopedic treatment of the text, its homiletical presentation of expository units of thought, its index of data for ready reference..." American Lutheran pastor Joseph A. Seiss (1823-1904) was born in Maryland and served congregations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
