Product Highlights
"Treating the Apocalypse chapter-by-chapter, Morris provides his readers with numerous sidelights on the text found in other works." A book that makes so many references to natural phenomena needs to be given scientific attention, as Dr. Morris, a specialist in hydrology and geology, is prepared to do. This commentary comes as the result of many years of Bible study concerning God's purposes in the creation. The verse-by-verse treatment provides valuable scientific insights for the scholar and layman alike. The author believes the book of Revelation was written to show those things which are to come to pass - not to obscure them in a maze of symbols and dark sayings. His clarity and style and literal approach to the Scriptures will provide a refreshing, understandable, and devotional guide to what some have said is the most difficult book of the Bible. The narrative style, giving a literal and sequential approach to the book of Revelation, makes this commentary refreshingly easy to read. You'll want to read on and on. About the Author Henry M. Morris was born in Dallas in 1918 and grew up in Texas in the 1920s and 1930s. He graduated from Rice University with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1939. After his graduation in 1939, and through 1942, he was a hydraulic engineer working with the International Boundary and Water Commission. He returned to Rice, teaching civil engineering from 1942 until 1946. In 1946 he wrote a short book entitled That You Might Believe, in which he made an effort to attack evolution. From 1946 through 1951, he worked at the University of Minnesota, where he was awarded a master's degree in hydraulics (1948) and a Ph.D. in hydraulic engineering (1950). In 1961, Morris and John C. Whitcomb wrote The Genesis Flood, which advocated creationism and flood geology. In it he cited an influence by George McCready Price, a Seventh-day Adventist schoolteacher and defender of creationism in the early 20th century. In 1963 Morris and nine others founded the Creation Research Society. In 1970, he founded the Institute for Creation Research in Santee, California and his son, John D. Morris, took over the presidency of ICR when he retired. While the greater bulk of his published writings address creation science and evolution themes, he also wrote Many Infallible Proofs, and The Bible Has The Answer, which are both works of general Christian apologetics. On February 1, 2006, Morris suffered a minor stroke and was hospitalized. Morris was moved from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility near his son's home in Santee, California where he died just a few weeks later.
