Eschatological Books/Different Takes On Revelation

Wondering if anyone knows of any books that, preferably in one volume, that explain different views on the last days. Pre tribulation, post tribulation . . .

Thanks

More Than Conquerors by WIliam Hendriksen is quite good.
And while not specifically about just Revelation--Kim Riddlebarger's A Case for Amillennialism is good too.

Robert Clouse also editted a book called The Meaning of the Millennium: Four Views, representing differing views. It's quite good as well, as each of the four gets to present their view & respond to the others.

If you decide to move beyond multiple view books or single subject books, I recommend:

Gregory Beale's commentary on Revelation (amillennialist)
Grant Osborne's commentary on Revelation (premillennialist)
(These two commentaries presuppose knowledge of Greek and expect the reader to be conversant with the way academic theologians talk about Scripture. Osborne and D.A. Carson say that Mounce's commentary is the best one out there that doesn't presuppose all this).

Redeemed!: Eschatological Redemption and the Kingdom of God by Boyd Hunt (if you can find it; it's out of print). Hunt tries to assemble a biblical theology of the Last Things, and it's pretty good. He basically ends up saying that the pre-mil, post-mil, and a-mil positions are all inadequate and that the way forward seems to be something that will incorporate elements of each. His proposal, "end-historical millennialism," ends up being very vague, but the book is good nonetheless.

Millard Erickson's Christian Theology - Erickson is a post-tribulation, premillennialist, and he defends that view, but he does so with humility and care to represent other views well.

When the Kings Come Marching In by Richard Mouw. Not on the millennium. It's a book about how human culture relates to the Eternal State in the New Jerusalem. It's a mind-broadening book about the End Times.
