A Reformed
- As someone primarily invested in the KJV, I find the "Geneva Bible: Text and Notes" to be crucial for basic Reformed doctrine. The only difficulty, as mentioned by reviewers before, is the older English spelling as well as the many abbreviated spellings which printers used to save space. Modern theologians and pastors/reverends would do well to reconsider the past they have discarded which is within this holy work.
- When seeking to prove Amillennialism wrong, I was rebuked by the Scripture use and God-supplied basic logic of a book like this. At times it is not as thorough as I'd like it to be, yet it most certainly does the job and then-some. (Others recommend Beale for more technical info.) And I also disagree where he deviates slightly from the KJV tradition in regards to his own translation. Additional excellent works on Logos: Riddlebarger: "A Case for Amillennialism, Expanded Edition: Understanding the End Times" & "The Man of Sin: Uncovering the Truth about the Antichrist" Beale: "Revelation: A Shorter Commentary" apparently abridged from: "The Book of Revelation (The New International Greek Testament Commentary | NIGTC)" Outside of Logos: Hoeksema: "Behold, He Cometh!: An Exposition of the Book of Revelation" Engelsma: "Christ's Spiritual Kingdom: A Defense of Reformed Amillennialism" (And I'm looking forward to his: "The Church's Hope: The Reformed Doctrine of the End".)
- Nice to have an edition that is free from the additions and deletions of destructive denominations.
- I'd be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on the NKJV.
- Aside from Calvin, Poole is absolutely essential.
