Sandy, D. Brent, and Daniel M. O’Hare, eds. Prophecy and Apocalyptic: An Annotated Bibliography. IBR Bibliographies, vol. 4. Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker Academic, 2007. 240 pp. $24,95.
This bibliography covers Old Testament Prophecy and Apocalyptic. As the Book of Revelation draws extensively on the OT, this work will be a very helpful tool for Revelation students as well. Only essays and books that were considered “significant” have been included.
Here is the publisher’s presentation of the book:
Introduces readers to the most essential works for students of Old Testament prophecy and apocalyptic literature with an emphasis on English-language titles.
With the proliferation of biblical studies research, it has become difficult for even the most dedicated scholars and students to stay abreast of the available resources. The IBR Bibliographies, produced under the auspices of the Institute for Biblical Research, are designed to guide students and scholars through this maze of literature to the most significant resources for study. In keeping with the intent of the series, Prophecy and Apocalyptic complements and expedites thorough, informed research. This volume introduces readers to the most essential works for students of Old Testament prophecy and apocalyptic literature with an emphasis on English-language titles. Annotations are included for each up-to-date bibliographic reference.
About the authors, according to the publisher:
D. Brent Sandy (PhD, Duke University) is professor and chair of the department of religious studies at Grace College (Winona Lake, Indiana). He is coeditor of Cracking Old Testament Codes: A Guide to Interpreting the Literary Genres of the Old Testament and author of Plowshares and Pruning Hooks: Rethinking the Language of Biblical Prophecy and Apocalyptic.
Daniel M. O’Hare is a PhD student at the University of Notre Dame.
The Institute for Biblical Research provides an additional on-line bibliography with entries that were not included in the printed edition. The on-line edition assumes that users have access to the introductory materiale etc. of the printed edition.
The authors promises that “From time to time, this bibliography will be updated with newly published sources.”

This quite extensive resource collection is compiled by Dr. Hubbes Laszlo.
Although it is in the Hungarian language, some headlines are translated, and it is certainly possible to find quite a number of useful resources, even if you do not know Hungarian. As the sample shows. As Dr. Laszlo informed me, “the majority of the collection points to English sites.”
Especially relevant is the following:
Apocalypse Commentaries
Apocalypse Definitions
Apocalyptic Bibliographies
Apocalyptic in Arts
Apocalyptic in Music
Apocalyptic Resources Online
Apocalyptic Studies
Apocalyptic Symbology and Iconography

Muse, Robert L. The Book of Revelation: An Annotated Bibliography. Books of the Bible, 2; Garland Reference Library of the Humanities, 1387. New York; London: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1996. Pp. xxxvi + 352. ISBN: 0-8240-7394-0.
This recent bibliography covers the period from 1940 to 1990, but occasionally includes works from before 1940 and some dissertations after 1990. It has more than 1300 entries with often quite detailed annotations.
This book is a invaluable tool for every Revelation scholar. Although Muse has classified and systematized the entries, there is certainly room for improvements. A number of works published between 1940 and 1990 are missing, and several works are found in the wrong sections.
A critical review by Georg S. Adamsen is published in Revelation Reviews.
