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.

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
