Description

Thank you for your interest in Revelation mailing list. The purpose of this list is to provide a forum for scholarly discussions and information sharing about the Book of Revelation.

Rules: The contributing participants are required to have a minimum academic knowledge about the field. We expect members to contribute with analyses and arguments, not unsupported claims, statements, or material that one may find in any standard commentary. Contributors are, naturally, expected to maintain a high tone of discussion on the list.

We welcome information about academic publications etc. on Revelation. Please, let us know. You are also welcome to notify the editor of Revelation Resources.

Posting privileges: Revelation scholars and qualified students will be accepted with full posting privileges. Others are welcome, but their messages may be moderated, at least initially.

Archive: Unfortunately, the archive at http://www.post-boks.dk/Rev-list has been taken off-line, and we don't know if it can or will be restored. All the messages sent since 2001 are archived here (without attachments).

Who are the list members: We are quite diverse. Many are working on or have already published academic books or articles on Revelation.

Moderator: Dr. Timothy P. Jenney serves as moderator.

Dr. Georg S. Adamsen
Founding list owner and co-moderator

Re: A simple explanation of the millennium
An interesting quote. I, for one, am in need of more information. It is very common to see Irenaeus labelled as a premillennialist (or chiliast). Do you think

Re: A simple explanation of the millennium
I'm an amillennialist. I don't think the 6000 years was meant to be literal. For instance, Irenaeus who is usually considered a chiliast, made this statement
