The Book of Revelation

First published in 1919, “The Book of Revelation” is the thorough and detailed examination of one of the most mysterious parts of the Bible by American Baptist pastor and author Clarence Larkin. Well-known and influential for his writings on Dispensationalism, many of Larkin’s works have been translated into dozens of languages and remain an important part of modern Protestant theology. Written near the end of his life, “The Book of Revelation” is the result of more than two decades of research and scholarship. Meticulously detailed, Larkin examines each of the stories in the Book of Revelation and explains the symbolic and literal meaning behind such references as the Seven Dooms, the Seven Personages, the Seven Plagues, and more. Every explanation and conclusion made is supported by direct quotes and passages from scripture so that readers may understand for themselves the basis for Larkin’s assertions. This enlightening and authoritative examination of one of the most fascinating books of the Bible was widely read and discussed upon its publication. Larkin’s work remains a significant source of scholarship into the meaning of the Book of Revelation for modern Christians who wish to better understand the Bible’s prophesies and warnings.
