A Curator’s Guide — An Exploration into Revelation

[TylerR]

Two things:

• Has anybody heard anything about the “charts” series Wallace mentions? This seems interesting, but I’d never even heard of the series until now.
• Robert Thomas’ two-volume commentary is probably the best (and the only?) exegetical commentary out there from a dispensational perspective. I’ve preached through portions of Revelation, and my family recently went through the whole book for our family devotions. I think Thomas is the best place for a dispensationalist to start for sensible (not sensationalistic) exegesis. Walvoord’s short commentary is always helpful, but he seems to go beyond the text in some cases.

Hi, Tyler, I’ve been reading S/I for a long time, but only recently got my own login. I’ve always appreciated your insights.

I’m preaching through Revelation now. I preached most of it during our Wednesday evening service but recently transitioned to finishing it in our Sunday afternoon service. I am almost finished with Revelation 21.

I’ve never heard of the chart resource Wallace references.

I mainly use Thomas’ 2-volume commentary. I have to agree that he is excellent. I haven’t agreed with every conclusion he’s drawn, but I always have to take his conclusions seriously as I form my own. I do occasionally refer to Walvoord’s, but his discussions seem truncated at times. As you say, he seems to go beyond the text, but not deep enough in his discussions.
