The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Commentary on Revelation

I was considering purchasing a commentary on the book of revelations. Any Recommendations?

Here's a few:<ol>[*]More Than Conquerors by William Hendriksen</li>[*]Behold He Cometh[/i] by Herman Hoeksema</li>[*]The Apocalypse of St. John (The Greek Text with Introduction Notes and Indices by Henry Barclay Swete</li>[*]Things Which Soon Must Come to Pass by Philip Mauro</li>[/LIST]<br><br>

Carlos,<br><br>I'm not familiar with many commentaries on Revelation but I can heartily second Pilgrim's recommendation of More Than Conquerors by William Hendriksen. It is quite good.<br><br>Theo

And to be balanced in the "right" eschatological direction you could also check out:<br><br>George Eldon Ladd's "Revelation"<br><br>and Grant Osbourne's "Exegetical Commentary on Revelation" found in the Baker series.<br><br>Robert Thomas's two massive volumes are fairly good too.<br><br>Fred

Philip Mauro's book is great.

Steve Gregg's REVELATION Four Views is the best I have seen if you want to understand the 4 prevailing views on the subject. It comes highly recommended by a number of reputable scholars. It is published by Thomas Nelson. Gregg himself is an a-millinium-er, but I challenge anyone to come to any conclusion of where he stands from reading the book. If you can't locate it, let me know & I will get you some info.<br><br>Gil Helvie<br><br>mordecai@oregonisonline.com
