Good Dispensational Commentaries or Systematic Theologies

AF69

Can anyone recommend any good commentary sets or systematic theologies written from a dispensational point of view, preferably by a respected dispensationalist? 

I'd like to possibly add these to my Logos library. Thanks!

No.....jk. The first one that comes to mind is John Mac's  https://www.logos.com/product/121460/the-macarthur-new-testament-commentary-series

Are you looking for classical dispensationalism, traditional, moderate, progressive, hyper-?

Has FL put these and other resources into a classification?  I would be very interested in seeing that chart

I'm very interested in seeing resource classifications being available to us in Logos to improve library information and filtering, and simplify custom collection rules.

Check out this thread for a link to a Faithlife Group with collections broken down into several categories so that you can find something in the flavor of what you are looking to add to your library - http://community.logos.com/forums/t/88829.aspx 

Two of the Commentaries that I consult for every text I teach (I have others that go deeper and approach from other perspectives when time allows) would fit into this camp.

For the book of Revelation the most in depth commentary from that perspective would be this

Here is my list of Dispensational Commentaries.  4186.Dispensational Commentaries Bibliography.docx

One of the best overall Dispensational Commentaries of the whole bible is 

Constable, Tom. Tom Constable’s Expository Notes on the Bible. Galaxie Software, 2003.

Also the Bible Knowledge Commentary and the Moody Bible Commentary.  I also like the Nelson Study Bible notes.

Warren Wiersbe Bible Exposition Commentary for the New Testament is very Pastoral and Practical.  Also his "Be" series for the rest of the Bible.   

Greg Corbin

Chafer's systematic theology

anything by Charles Ryrie

Thomas Constables notes (really a mid-level commentary on the entire Bible)

MacArthur Commentaries

John Phillips Commentaries

Rob

Craig Blaising, Darrell Bock and David L. Turner offer commentaries from a progressive dipsensational viewpoint

I'm looking for classical, normative, traditional dispensationalism.

Not the progressive or moderate type, and certainly not ultra-dispensationalism. 

Some of the recommendations so far have been amazing. My wish list is now bigger than my bank account.

This is helpful info. Based on that I'd say Chaffer and Ryrie are probably the most prominent exemplars for you.
