Dr. Robert P.

Robert S. Candlish

Candlish's exposition of 1 John was the ripe fruit of years of careful and loving study of the great themes in Johannine teaching. His aim was not so much to produce a detailed technical commentary after the fashion of much exegesis in the new German tradition, but to set on display the heights and depths of the theology of John's letter: 'it can be studied aright exegetically, only when it is studied theologically.'

William Newell

Theologian William Newell divides up his study of the book of Revelation into two parts: judgment and the new creation. He goes over the each chapter verse-by-verse, presenting a solid and thorough interpretation of this often confusing book of the Bible. Newell doesn’t believe that this book should cause fear or division, but should strengthen the saints until the return of Christ.
