Featuring 35 lectures on the book of Revelation, eschatological scholar John Cumming presents a comprehensive examination of the final book of the Bible. Holding that this book is an unveiling of the nature of Christ, he takes each chapter and topic under careful consideration, focusing on the intended meaning and context of the passages, and what they mean for today’s readers. * About the author: John Cumming (10 November 1807 - 5 July 1881) was a Scottish clergyman and religious author. He was born in Fintray in Aberdeenshire the eldest son of John Cumming (d.1835) and his wife, Anne Mutch of Foveran. His mother died in 1827 giving birth to his youngest brother, Hercules Cumming. He attended Aberdeen Grammar School and then studied divinity at King's College in Aberdeen. In 1832, Cumming was appointed to the Crown Court Church (the Scottish National Church) in Covent Garden, London, a Church of Scotland congregation that catered for Scots living in London. At the time, the congregation had approximately 80 members, but Cumming was able to grow his congregation to around 900, and he regularly preached to congregations of 500-600 on Sundays. Cumming was a controversial figure in his day, George Eliot being the most prominent figure to criticize him for his anti-Catholicism, obsession with the End Times, and perceived intellectual dishonesty. In 1853 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposer was Sir John Archibald Murray. Cumming retired in 1879. In total, he published approximately 180 books during his lifetime. He died on 5 July 1881 in Chiswick near London and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery
