... of the Book of Revelation.
Anyone? Recommendations? Whether it's in Logos or not.
Thanks!
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,....Steve Gregg, Revelation, Four Views: A Parallel Commentary (Nashville, TN: T. Nelson Publishers, 1997), 2–3.
I did not compile this list so cannot guarantee its accuracy. I think I got, at least some of it, from Gegg's 4 views commentary.
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.)
Hey thanks All! DUH... go look in Gregg's book! Why didn;t I think of that, LOL! Sigh... #Over50 [:D]
Speaking of Gregg’s Revelation: Four Views, it would be great to have the updated 2013 version in Logos. Please vote for it here:

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?

Generally speaking, there are 5 major views in interpreting the Book of Revelation. The first four are: preterist (prophecies of Revelation are fulfilled in 1st century A.D.), historicist (view of church history from 1st century to the return of Christ), futurist (asserts that Revelation 4–22 is concerning a future time just before and after Christ’s return), and idealist (sees Revelation as a symbolic portrayal of the battle between God and evil). The 5th is eclectic — a view that seeks to combine the strengths within the other four.
There are four major views on what scripture dealing with the Millennium means. These are Pre-Millennial, Pre-Millennial Dispensationalism, A-Millennialism, and Post-Millennialism.
Parallelism, at least in A-Millennialism, sees each of the three series of seven judgments (seals, trumpets, bowls) as a retelling of the same events. Classical dispensationalism tends toward a futurist reading of Revelation. Progressive dispensationalism tends toward a historic or eclectic view.

Does it work well as a Kindle book? I have the print version, but can't see how the 4 column format would work well in Kindle format.
I did some scrolling and the views are presented one after another, not in a 4-column format. I previewed the previous edition at the Internet Archive site and that format would definitely not work for a Kindle book, unless they made it web-only.
It's not formatted in 4 columns in Kindle, the 4 views come sequentially (with their own, different-looking hourglass icon). Random screenshot:
Thanks for the replies.
