Koester, Craig R. “On the Verge of the Millennium: A History of the Interpretation of Revelation.” Word and World 15 (1995): 128-36.
In his outline of the history of interpretation, Koester deals with:
- Ancient interpretation are futuristic or timeless
- Joachim of Fiore and church renewal
- Luther as the heir of earlier approaches, and Luther’s own distinctive contribution
- Dispensational interpretations (both post-millennialists and pre-millennialists), which Koester critiques in three paragraphs
- Historical interpretations as an alternative to the excesses of futuristic interpretations
- Theological interpretations with an emphasis on Interpretation and Faith (cf. Caird)
