Revelation Resources

20 Aug 2010

While there have been endless volumes written on the book of Revelation–and, it seems as many interpretations as there are books–the following are some of the ones I have profited from most.Â I would especially recommend the sermon series by Sinclair Ferguson, Eric Alexander and Brian Vos. B.B. Warfield’s short article below is probably the most helpful three page piece on the structure of the book ever written. Henriksen’s More Than Conquerors and Poythress’ The Returning King are indispensable. But, Beale’s The Book of Revelation is the PiÃ¨ce de rÃ©sistance.
