The commentaries included in the category Scholarly commentaries are either scholarly (i.e., written for scholars and serious students) or written by scholars and with a specific, valuable view on Revelation or one of the topics discussed on Revelation Resources. Although it is hardly possible to rank commentaries objectively, I would suggest that some commentaries should […]

There are, of course, many philological or linguistic analyses in quite many studies on Revelation, but to qualify for inclusion, the works must concentrate on these topics, not […]
Om de skandinaviske henvisninger
Denne gruppe indeholder henvisninger til online materiale eller trykte bøger og artikler, som jeg vurderer, man kan lære noget af. Der er ikke nødvendigvis tale om egentlig videnskabelige artikler.
