Greetings to all you Bible Study enthusiasts.
I have created this blog to present my study of the Book of Revelation following the outline I used with a group of seniors at the church where my wife and I normally worship, Glen Abbey United Church, Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
When I posted a suggestion about this study to E-Talk, one of the many e-mail groups I follow on a daily basis, a great many of you replied that you would be interested in seeing it. I felt it would be advisable to create this blog to save myself and you as much time and work as possible. By doing so, I realize that I am revealing it to the world. That is exactly what we are intended to do with the Bible, isn't it? You are welcome to make whatever use of this study as you wish. I ask only one favour: Please use it with attribution.
The study was based on the seminal work of the late Professor George B. Caird, one time professor of New Testament at my alma mater, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and later Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford. His Commentary on The Revelation of St. John the Divine was first published in 1966 by Adam and Charles Black, of London, UK in the series Black's New Testament Commentaries . I also used other resources as well in preparing the introductions published here, but Caird's was the primary one.
I shall be reviewing each of the fourteen introductions and posting them here individually over the next few days. Please check back whenever you wish to see what has been posted.

An addendum: Please pardon a little confusion as we get started. I am having a little difficulty transposing these introductions to the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhen first written, they were printed two at a time on an 8 by 11 inch page with landscape orientation in a 12-point Bookman Old Style typeface. These were then handed out to each person in the group at each study session.
But we shall overcome such little problems.
A further postscript: I said that there would be fourteen of these introductions. In fact there will be twice that many because of the way they were originally printed - two at a time.
ReplyDeleteBut hold on, we'll get the parameters right yet!
