Historicist Works
I Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
Horae Apocalypticae Vol 1
Horae Apocalypticae Vol 2
Horae Apocalypticae Vol 4
Literally, "Hours with the Apocalypse" by E.B. Elliott
In 1878, Charles Haddon Spurgeon wrote the classic reference work "Commenting on Commentaries. The "prince of preachers" surveyed over 1,400 commentaries on the books of the Bible providing bible students and pastors with a valuable guide for selecting books for their libraries. His comments are often as entertaining as they are helpful.
Each book of the bible forms a chapter in this work.. Spurgeon provides pithy analysis and offers his recommendation of the best commentary and those to avoid. When he reaches the book of Revelation his clear recommendation is E.B. Elliott’s Horae Apocalypticae. He succinctly states that it was "the standard work".
It would surprise most Baptists today to realize that this most eminent Baptist preacher was himself an Historicist or Continuist as he called it then. Elliott’s work was the standard work in 1878 because the Historicist interpretation was still the standard in Protestantism and this work had gone through 4 editions and had established itself as the standard within the Historicist school. Elliot had died three years earlier in 1875.
