Hi Mike,

There is a preview or "Look Inside" at Amazon here :  http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Revelation-Theological-Commentary-Testament/dp/1573122890#reader_1573122890  I find these to be very helpful given the ability to search on the resource and to view the TOC.

The two books at the top of my list for Revelation are:

- http://www.logos.com/product/3467/the-book-of-revelation-new-international-greek-testament-commentary

- Dennis Johnson's "The Triumph of the Lamb" (long overdue in Logos - ISBN 978-0875522005).

FWIW...

Donnie

Long overdue in Logos are: David Chilton's commentary on Revelation titled "Days of Vengeance" and Arthur Ogden's "The Avenging of the Apostle's and Prophets." It doesn't matter what view you have, these two will make you change your view and make life MUCH easier for you; especially with all the fairy tales surrounding the book of Revelation now days.

I am not familar with the Ogden title.

For some reason I was thinking that in L4 there were some books by Ogden which came along for the ride, but I don't seem to find any.  The possibility exists that it may be among those I hid, but I don't think they were.

Hi... I am looking to "tool up" for a study on Revelation. I am curious if "Reading Revelation" (see link below) is indexed as a commentary and what view it advocates. 

Anybody with the resource able to comment , even with your general impressions. Thanks

Duh !  [:$]  I was thinking that "trafton" was a unit of measurement or some such thing.  I really CAN see, I simply didn't think of it as the name of the author.

lol, thanks, Praiser. 

George!  It helps to read the thread!    I know this one is sooo long, though . . .

of course, my original quote wasn't too extensive, either.  I'll cut you some slack.  I could have annotated it better.

Well, I only missed it by a trafton.  [:D]

You can obtain the PBB file from some of MJ older posts (search the forum)

You can download the PDF at http://www.garynorth.com/freebooks/docs/pdf/days_of_vengeance.pdf

I put in the book cover file, because it tells all.

If you want a spanish version of this book in PDF formate, or to read on line, visit my Spanish Language Site. www.hombrereformado.org

I agree, the cover tells "something". If it is one possible "telling", I would acknowledge agreement. If it is another, I would hope to keep a large distance between myself and the teller...due to the collateral damage, splashback, and whatnot.

I've never read Chilton before, but being Messianic, I was bemused at the surprise that Wenham (or anyone else, for that matter) seems to display (in the Introduction of Chilton's book) in his coming to the realization that the so-called NT actually ought to be interpreted in Light of the Tanakh. Is there any other way?

Shhh...don't answer that question--you might give yourself away.

unless one understands the OT

Several years ago I thought of a "parable".  The Bible from beginning to end can be taken as the story of your life.  You are born in the Garden of Eden, you begin to learn right from wrong.  The law is rules & regulations your Father gives you which hopefully you begin to internalize.  You come under conviction of sin at the preaching of John the Baptist.  You get saved in John 3.  You are discipled by Jesus.  Filled with the Spirit in Acts 2 and begin ministry in earnest.  The Book of Revelation then is the receiving of your reward and entrance into eternal life.  Therefore it is imperative that you remember your life lessons to properly understand how its all going to end.

By the way, where's the PBB file for Chilton's commentary on Revelation.  I tried searching the forums and no luck finding them.  Any help out there?

Thanks!

Unless you're using L3, it won't be of any use to you -- at least not yet.

By the way I have in PDF formate other works that may interest you..  Gran Tribulacion, etc http://www.hombrereformado.org/achivos

Edit: Oh if you like buying paperbacks, you can find it and other on this page. http://www.armageddonbooks.com/preterist3.html

Its a shame that Logos does not publish any of them that I know of.

Two questions:

1. Is the long link above an English language link? If not, do you have that link?

2. Assuming I download the file, where should I download it? I assume this the PBB file--is that correct?

Thanks! [Y]

I see according to the PBB of Paradise Restored that Chilton died in 1997 at 45 years of age. Sad to die so young.

Greg Bahnsen was associated with this group.  He also died at age 47 just a couple of years before Chilton. Bahnsen was an intellectual tour-de-force and master rhetorician.

If any one whats it, I also have Greg Bahnsen book (PDF) http://www.hombrereformado.org/he-aqui-el-estandar-1 He aqui el estandar (By This Standard).
