It is difficult to recommend commentaries of Revelation--each one has his/her own view on this book. The above commentaries, however, do a good job of getting at the issues. For a overview of different options in interpreting Revelation see: Pate, C. Marvin, ed. Four Views on the Book of Revelaton. Counterpoints. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1998.
