References and Helpful Commentaries on Revelation

Commentaries
There's no commentary on Revelation that I agree with entirely. But each gives me references to other Bible passages and alternate points of view, carefully argued, by which to test and sharpen my own. Some of the commentaries I have used are below, usually referred to in the text by the author's last name.
