Two of these books are commentary. Four are workbooks. All six exist because ordinary readers keep being told that parts of the Bible are beyond them.
The Revelation strand takes the book most Christians have opened once and quietly closed, and works through all twenty-two chapters until the symbols make sense. The Gospels strand brings J.C. Ryle out of nineteenth-century English and sets him beside Matthew and Mark, a short passage at a time.
Each commentary has a workbook built to match it, so you can read alone or take a group through the whole thing without preparing a single lesson from scratch.
The last book of the Bible is the only one that opens by blessing the person who reads it. These two work through every chapter of it.
Verse by Verse Commentary

J.C. Ryle spent thirty-eight years as a country pastor writing commentary plain enough for working people, and Spurgeon called him the best man in the Church of England. These editions modernize the archaic language and nothing else: his sentences and his convictions stand as he wrote them. Each commentary is paired with a workbook.

Revelation has always put you off. Start with Revelation Explained for the full verse-by-verse treatment, or go straight to the ten-week workbook if you would rather work than read.
You want to study a Gospel properly. Mark is shorter and faster, sixteen weeks. Matthew is the fuller course at twenty-eight. Either workbook stands alone, and the matching Ryle commentary sits behind it if you want more.
You are leading a group. Take a workbook. Every session has the same shape, the questions are written, and the spiral-bound edition lies flat on a table.
Between books the work carries on at Revelation Explained, where the commentary is published chapter by chapter alongside articles on the symbols, the timelines and the four main ways Christians read the book.
A weekly letter on Revelation and the Gospels, the symbols and what the text actually says, plus word when the next study lands.
