Sheffield New Testament Guides: Revelation

John Court introduces Revelation anew with a selection of thematic readings, entitled “Visions of God and Christ”, “Visions of the Church in the World”, “Visions of Creation and the End of the Universe”, “Visions of Rival Powers”, “Visions of the Future Hope”. He pays special attention to the living traditions within which Revelation is interpreted. Court also devotes three substantial chapters to key literary, historical, and theological issues. How can one describe Revelation’s literary character? What historical and social context did Revelation come from? What are its abiding theological values and doctrines? This study is set in the context of modern approaches to the biblical text.
