I would recommend “Eternity Now” by Peter Hiett. While I haven’t read the entire book, I would nonetheless recommend it for what I have read. It’s quirky, but in a good way. He brings out not just the original intent (a difficult prospect in any case) but brings out the present application as well. I heard him intereviewed a couple of years ago on a Moody station here, and was quite amused at the interview, since the host was tradionally dispy. It was an odd fit, to say the least. But Hiett acquited himself quite well. It’s quite helpful!

Thanks a lot. I’m thousands of pages behind in what I want to read already. (Rereading Riddelbarger’s _Case for Amillenialism_, got his _Man of Sin_ on the way.)

I’ve noticed that dispensationalists seem to be very touchy about criticism.

Revelation Unwrapped by John Richardson is well worth a look as a short and simple commentary on the book.

I believe the book was written in the 90′s during the reign of Domitian.

I don’t fall easily into a camp, but I’m mostly amillenial, and not preterist.

Do you adhere to any of the AD 70 distinctions as outlined by the preterists? From what I have read many of them believe that Revelation was written before AD 70. You apparently hold to the later date.
