>>>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.<<<

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.

Your list is interesting. A few well known and good names. 95% of your list I would gather from the names are from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Any from the first three or four centuries?

I hope you looked at some of the bios on your list. A large German JEDP population there.

Any study Bible on my shelf will espouse the majority view of the dating of revelation.

I have never understood the propensity of the preterist to deny what is patently obvious.

Scholars? Who decides who is a scholar? I can acknowledge that your list has many good scholars ... but let's face it ... even among your list of scholars, their views would not be completely congruent. Where they diverge where do you drop the label of scholar for one of them? Scholars disagree all the time.

Christ is going to rule in the flesh from a dusty throne

What makes you think His throne will be dusty?
