It would be nice if Logos could label or tag Revelation commentaries so we can know what perspective they give 👍😁👌

At this point, a brief description of these four approaches will lay the foundation for later elaboration.

The historicist approach, which is the historic Protestant interpretation of the book, sees the Book of Revelation as a prewritten record of the course of history from the time of the apostle to the end of the world. Fulfillment is thus considered to be in progress at present and has been unfolding for nearly two thousand years.
The preterist approach sees the fulfillment of Revelation’s prophecies as already having occurred...
The futurist approach postulates that the majority of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation have never yet been fulfilled .....
What I am calling the spiritual approach (often called the idealist or symbolic approach) to Revelation does not attempt to find individual fulfillments of the visions but takes Revelation to be a great drama depicting transcendent spiritual realities,....

This one doesn't just cover Revelation but I found it particularly good. The perspective IIRC is primarily spiritual:

Unfortunately it's not been available in Logos for quite a while; I'm not sure why. (I got it during one of those $5 Wipf & Stock sales.)

Do Idealist, Moderate Idealist (Beale), Eclectic, and Parallelism fall under one of these Four Views in the Commentary Revelation Four Views or are they extra views?

Is Millennial, Premillennial and Futurist the same as saying Dispensational?

Thanks!
