The American reverend Albert Barnes began writing notes on the New Testament in order to spare his Sunday School teachers from having to wade through lengthy and complex material in order to instruct their pupils. His style is concise and (for Victorian readers) very accessible. This book covers the text of Revelations, probably one of the hardest books to understand in the Bible..

Verse-by-verse, the author covers the entire New Testament, carefully and understandably, explaining every verse and offering a practical application for Christian living.
