Logos is about to publish Lenski’s Commentary on the New Testament electronically. The commentary is on the way to replication.

If you want this very helpful exegetical commentary, you may order it for $199.95, but you have to do it immediately. Shortly, the price will change to $299.95.

Thorough as a student of Greek, R. C. H. Lenski interprets the books of the New Testament with meticulous exegetical research while providing an original, literal translation of the text. With his conservative Lutheran perspective, he is unwavering in his high view of Scriptural authority, probing deeply and passionately—arguing his conclusions masterfully.

Beyond exegesis, he provides linguistic and textual analysis, historical background such as information on the author, date, time of writings, authorial intent, chief themes, and much more. Often addressing difficult text, evading nothing, Lenski evaluates multiple interpretations before choosing one in particular. The Lenski Commentary, therefore, will introduce you to a range of interpretations and viewpoints, allowing you to see how other interpretations relate to one another, and will provide the context as to why he has settled on a particular viewpoint.

Richard Charles Henry Lenski, a distinguished Lutheran scholar and commentator, studied for the ministry at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. Upon earning his Doctor of Divinity, he became Dean of the seminary. He was a former professor at Capital Seminary (now Trinity Lutheran Seminary) in Columbus, Ohio, where he taught in the fields of exegesis, dogmatics, and homiletics. His numerous books and commentaries are written from a conservative perspective.

Here is more information: Lenski’s Commentary on the New Testament (12 Vols.)

Dr. Kenneth Gentry has provided an annotated and referenced overview of the preterist perspective at his KennethGentry.com. The title of the article is Back to the Future – The Preterist Perspective.

Gentry’s site is sometimes difficult to access, but the article may also be found at The Preterist Perspective, Dr. Gentry.

Translations are very important tools. Good translations are helpful. Bad ones not so. Study Bibles may be very helpful. Or they may be quite the opposite.

ESV is, as far as I know, a good translation. An ESV Study Bible is in preparation. It will very likely be used by very many. Dennis Johnson, Fuller Theological Seminary, is the study notes contributor to Revelation. Johnson is the author of Triumph of the Lamb: A Commentary on Revelation. Phillipsburg, New Jersey: P&R Publishing, 2001.

The Introduction to Revelation is available from the ESV Study Bible website: http://www.esvstudybible.org/images/excerpt-revelation-intro.pdf.
