Revelation
Studies in Difficult Passages
Volume 27 • Nine BookletsDifficult passages, beginning with Revelation
The Difficult Passages studies in the Denton Lectures Doctrinal Defense Series open with the Book of Revelation. Nine booklets take up the questions careful readers ask in that book, such as who speaks in 1:8, what the Lord’s day is, and who the angels of the seven churches are. Each study gathers the evidence, sets out the readings fairly, says plainly what is certain and what is open, and stops there.

- Wednesday companion Bible study
- Greek and Hebrew keyword study with reference chart

Praise for the Dr. John W. Edmerson Teaching Series
“You have such a clear and precise understanding of the Greek language, and this is a great and inspiring work. Reading it gives me a greater appreciation of the language, and I commend you for bringing the meaning of the words to life in a context so profound, productive, and meaningful to all who read the narrative. This work has opened my eyes to your scholarship and your commitment to the Scriptures and the application meant for us to grasp. Keep writing, my brother. You are a scholar in the truest sense of the word, and we will all be blessed by your wisdom and writing.”
“Dr. John W. Edmerson stands tall in the hallowed halls of faith — a seasoned man of faith, gospel preacher, elder, chaplain, and leader. Dr. Edmerson blends his biblical knowledge and faith-filled experiences in this series. The work is Scriptural and relevant in times like these. He demonstrates scholastic and academic integrity in this work, with disclosures and documentation. I highly recommend this work as valuable in a variety of ministry contexts.”
“Dr. John Edmerson has researched and put together an amazingly rich resource for preachers and Bible class teachers alike who aspire to dig deeper into their sermons and lessons. We all would like to use the original language to grasp the meanings of the writers, so that modern readers can put into practice the treasures of divine Scripture. For the preacher or teacher, I believe there is enough material to be utilized for an entire year’s worth of study in a typical congregation — it is that comprehensive, while at the same time being very readable and understandable. I highly recommend this new effort on the part of Dr. Edmerson.”
“As one of Dr. John Edmerson’s former students, I have witnessed firsthand his commitment to biblical scholarship, faithful teaching, and lifelong learning. What I particularly appreciate about this series is its intentional structure. By pairing each lesson with both a sermon and a companion Bible study, Dr. Edmerson gives readers multiple facets through which to engage the text — moving beyond a definition into its biblical context, theological significance, and application. He successfully bridges careful biblical scholarship with ministry application, encouraging readers not only to understand the language and context of Scripture more deeply but also to communicate God’s Word with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. This series reflects the heart of a teacher who has spent decades investing in others.”
“I am grateful for the opportunity to commend this series. Dr. John W. Edmerson has given the church a thoughtful and valuable work, shaped by decades of faithful ministry and a deep reverence for Scripture. This series is especially strong in the way it brings careful study of the biblical languages together with practical, Christ-centered preaching and teaching. It will serve ministers, Bible class teachers, and serious devotional readers with clarity, depth, and spiritual usefulness.”
