My Bibliography on Revelation

Simon Jones is an English Baptist Minister who's contemplating a series on the book of Revelation. He asked for people's recommendations in terms of books on Revelation. That sparked me to think that I'd put up a bibliography of the major resources I've used in this series on Revelation. All of the books are books I own and the majority of the journal articles are available online if you google them. I didn't read every page of every book but these were the major sources I used. There are some notable omissions - Aune, Fiorenza and Collin's commentaries. Very simply, in weekly preaching there's only so much reading you can do!!

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.
