I'm looking for hard theologians ... not psychologists (Jay Adams). The first one I recognize is FF Bruce, who certainly did not espouse what you are claiming. He gave a range of years for the writing of Revelation, a far cry from accepting an early date.

Bottom line ... please remove any in your list who places a range of dates for Revelation that include both 60s and 90s ... then send it again.

It will be considerably smaller.

I suspect that will require a lot of work on your part, to procure the commentaries from the people you listed ... but that is what Biblical studies is about ... not posting lists from the internet ... check all of them out yourself.

There is also another exercise you can do ... find any early church writings that claim the second coming was a past event. Should have some of the other items in the list in my other post. Global event, kings destroyed, beast and false prophet, Israel converted, set foot on the mount of Olives, etc.

That is your bottom line, not mine. These historians were all serious scholars, and either supported what you claimed, or they did not. This is what you claimed:

"Almost all scholars support the Domitian date."

You made that up, or you were quoting someone else who made it up.

There is one other possibility: you are living in that dispensational fantasy world that makes-believe there are no "scholars" but dispensationalists.

One other point: consensus is not history, and it is not fact. It is not really anything. It did provide us with some really nice myths, like, the world is flat, global warming, Christ is going to rule in the flesh from a dusty throne in Israel for 1000 years, dragons in the sea, and a few others.
