Does anyone know of a FL resource that side by sides or "view points" the dating of Revelation? Yeah I can go through all my commentaries and autographs, but that would take a long time.

    I'm not sure what you mean but I found Craig Koester's Anchor Yale series "Revelation: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary" to be helpful and interesting. It includes what appears to be a fairly comprehensive review of the various key arguments used in the dating of the book. The relevant bit can be found in the Introduction, Part II, Section C.

    I thought you were going to say something like, "Finally met the person I've been talking too online and she looks nothing like her thumbnail."

    You have no idea how hard that was to not to play on those words.

    Thanks. I'm really looking for a one book or two book series that specifically deals with the question of dating - the book that is :)

    Arguments for and against early or late dating.

    However, if that can't be found then I'm wondering if there is a "list" in some commentary that shows with guys are early daters and those that are later wons. That way I can then read them and make my own judgements.

    I was looking through my wish list, spotted this book, and remembered your post. I don't know if it would fit but... anyway, it is a suggestion.

    AYBD has quiet an extensive article on it:

    At the end of the article it has:

    For a more detailed discussion of the evidence and scholarship on the date, see Yarbro Collins 1984: 54–83.

    Adela Yarbro Collins, “Revelation, Book of,” ed. David Noel Freedman, The Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary (New York: Doubleday, 1992), 701.

    I assume https://www.amazon.com/Crisis-Catharsis-Apocalypse-Collins-1984-03-01/dp/B01JXSDQ6E is the book referred to but it is not in Logos and so I can't check

    A New Testament Introduction normally has this sort of discussion. If you've got the Carson and Moo introduction it has a helpful article (with table) here

    I guess it would have helped to actually include the link! [:$]

    I believe it is the same book that Jan mentioned above. But here is the link to correct my mistake. https://www.logos.com/product/2271/revelation-four-views
