Overview

The Apocalypse of John is a work of immense importance and learning. Yet among the major works of early Christianity included in the New Testament it has received relatively little scholarly attention. This work is a significant contribution to remedying this neglect. The author examines the meticulous literary artistry, creative imagination, radical political critique and profound theology of the Apocalypse of John. It is a sustained enterprise to understand both the form and the message of the Apocalypse in its literary and historical contexts. An invaluable and illuminating work for students, scholars and ministers.

  • Focuses on the literary composition of Revelation
  • Explores John’s use of Old Testament Scriptures
  • Examines Revelation’s place among Jewish and Christian apocolyptic literature
  • Structure and Composition
  • The Use of Apocalyptic Traditions
  • Synoptic Parousia Parables and the Apocalypse
  • The Worship of Jesus
  • The Role of the Spirit
  • The Lion the Lamb and the Dragon
  • The Eschatological Earthquake
  • The Apocalypse as a Christian War Scroll
  • The Conversion of the Nations
  • The Economic Critique of Rome in Revelation 18
  • Nero and the Beast
I strongly recommend Bauckhams masterful studies on Revelation in its historical context
