Tonight I have spent the evening trying to unravel who are the important Book of Revelation/Apocalypse scholars. There is so much literature that finding a path through it all feels like wandering though a wilderness trying to discover landmarks left by previous travelers who can point the way to a my destination.
I'd like to thank two travelers who have been especially kind: Harry Maier and David Barr.
Harry Maier has a short but helpful review of the contemporary literature in his book: Apocalypse Recalled: The Book of Revelation after Christianity.
David Barr has excellent bibliographies in his books Reading the Book of Revelation: A Resourse for Students and Tales of the End: A Narrative Commentary on the Book of Revelation. In surveying these works, I've discovered a list of important scholars. They are:
- David E. Aune
- David L. Barr
- Richard J. Bauckham
- Adela Yarbro Collins
- Tina Pippin
- Jean-Pierre Ruiz
- Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza
- Leonard L Thompson
