Gordon Fee on Reading Revelation
… and the Bible as a whole, but with a focus on his new commentary on Revelation. The video is at the Grace Communion International web site and is well worth watching. I would probably be a bit harder on the idea of literal interpretation for the Bible overall than Dr. Fee is, but he…
