Commentary on the Apocalypse, by H. B. Swete

Henry Barclay Swete's The Apocalypse of St. John (1906) is a landmark work of critical scholarship, and remains to this day among the finest, most thorough, and detailed critical-exegetical commentaries on the Book of Revelation ever produced. The notes on the Greek text are meticulous and the introduction is among the most extensive you are likely to find. While questions of interpretation are addressed, many of the more lurid and provocative aspects of modern-day study on the book are avoided, focusing instead on the meaning of the Greek text, and the first-century historical background, which should be the basis for any sound interpretation. We are pleased to offer this classic of New Testament scholarship, deserving of place in the libary of every scholar and serious student of Scripture today.
