Not yet. But I will. I am slowly accumulating a list of those that have been recognized as not having endorsed the late date. When I say slowly, new finds have been rather scarce, of late. When I have time, I seek out a copy of one of those books and read, at least, the section that explains thier perspective on the dating. Typically, I am not the least bit concerned about the other aspects of their doctrines.

Then it is my hope you will be "shocked straight" when you read some of the books on the list of authors and scholars you provided. I also hope you can read German since many of the German works were not translated to English.

I have been beating the drum on some of these authors because of their stance (or lack thereof) on the accuracy of Scriptures and their positions that most of the NT does not come from apostolic authors but later. You may applaud their works for their earlier dates for Revelation, but should be concerned how they viewed the NT canon. Most believed the majority of the NT was written in the second century AD and only a few epistles and maybe one Gospel dated to the 1st century AD. If you are familiar with mid to late 19th Century European theological movements (heavy in Germany) they were heavily skeptical of the authenticity of scriptures. It was called the Rationalist movement in theology (skeptics). A lot of their works were shortly refuted in the 20th century with great archaeological finds confirming Biblical historical events. Some of their skepticism and rationalism survives today with regards to the JEDP theory which we see in the RC church et. al.

It was not my intent to "poo poo" your thread and attack the source. I found it odd that you who post with great respect for God's Word would use such sources which are clearly enemies to the Gospel. I will chalk it up as you said which is you need to further review the sources.

You really should read what I write before commenting. This is what I wrote:

“Typically, I am not the least bit concerned about the other aspects of their doctrines.”

I know you are going to beat this out-of-context dead horse to death, and then bring it back to life so you can beat it again. So let me explain one more time, using different words:

“NOTHING has shocked me more than the words I have heard and read from dispensationalists.”

If any of the other doctrines gain that kind of prominence, and start doing that kind of damage to Christianity, I will pay more attention. Until that time, I will leave the other doctrines to those who have more time on their hands.
