Bible Question:
Best commentary on revelation? . . . This is another non-answer to a question originally posted on 03-13-2001, 8:56PM. I hope that some of the members of this forum find the following to be informative and of interest. . . . I fully concur with EdB's (see Answer on Revelation by EdB, 03-20-2001, 1:19PM) short list of authors recommended for their reliability and trustworthiness. Following is a list of authors who, in my opinion, are doctrinally sound, reliable, and trustworthy in their teachings and writings. They are rooted firmly in the Bible and in the mainstream of the historic Christian faith. They are: . . . 1) The Christian Research Institute; 2)David Jeremiah; 3) D. James Kennedy; 4) John MacArthur; 5) Josh McDowell; 6) Charles Caldwell Ryrie; 7) Adrian Rogers; 8) R.C. Sproul; 9) Charles Stanley; 10) Chuck Swindoll. . . . (Disclaimer: Infallibility is claimed neither for or by any man on this list. No man is infallible. No translation of the Bible is infallible. Only the Bible itself IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS is both without error and incapable of error. Also, I do not claim this to be an exhaustive list of every reliable author in the history of the church. These names are merely among today's best known and most trusted teachers and writers. If I left out your favorite, I apologize. I am only speaking for myself, and no one else.) |
Bible Answer: Greetings Kalos! I realize you were not the one who originally asked this question, but allow me to attach my response to your post. A very good (and inexpensive) commentary on Revelation is Leon Morris's, "Revelation". This commentary is part of the Tyndale New Testament Commentary series publised by Inter-Varsity Press. It is paper back and very cheap. Leon Morris is a very well known and respected evangelical scholar. In fact, I would highly recommend this commentary series for the average Christian. They are not extremely technicule, but they are very informative. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
