Be careful Mark Hitchcock. If you keep going this route, you might start baptizing babies.

Here is the bizarre thing about Hitchcock. Most of the stuff he writes is just sensational money-makers. His dissertation on the date of Revelation is top-level scholarship.

Reflections on the Hitchcock-Hanegraff Debate on Revelation

Hitchcock: strong opening statement. External case: all early witnesses attest to a mid-90s date. The letters to the seven churches show no Pauline influence, yet Paul founded several of them in the mid to late 50s. If Revelation were written in 65 AD, then we have several churches...
