Reviews

[Timothy Coplin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Concise look at the end times through the Jewish lens of Jesus's day.

Fifty-two chapters, each with rare exceptions, are only 1-3 pages in length, which would serve well as a year-long study of the topic.

Having a copy of the Bible and the Apocrypha at hand would serve the reader well. That said, I read this without referencing either, and I came away understanding what Barclay is saying.
