Pratt Jr., Richard L. 1 and 2 Chronicles: A Mentor Commentary. Ment. Mentor, 2006.
BrianCollins BrianCollins January 26, 2024
Pratt's commentary does a good job documenting the structure of Chronicles, including detailed treatments of the structure of each section, and tracking the similarities and differences between Chronicles and parallels material in books like Kings. He is attentive to the theological significance of the text. He will briefly bring in more technical exegetical discussions where needed. This is the first commentary I turn to on Chronicles.

Fanning, Buist M. Revelation. ZECNT. Zondervan, 2020.
BrianCollins BrianCollins September 29, 2023
Fanning's commentary on Revelation is now my preferred commentary on the book, edging out Grant Osborne's Baker Exegetical commentary. It is the best futurist, premillennial commentary on the market. Fanning is sober in his judgments, provides helpful and informed comments on the Greek text in the footnotes, and is lucid and brief for the sake of the pastor. Fanning is also informed about genre, typology, and hermeneutics. His introduction is invaluable in that regard For those who come to Revelation as an idealist or preterist, this and Osborne are the two futurist commentaries they should consult, and if they can only consult one, it should be Fanning.
