Description
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 show more the Apocalypse in its literary and historical contexts.An invaluable and illuminating work for students, show lessTags

For a book from T&T Clark, I would expect much higher standard in editorial efforts. There are about a dozen mistaken chapter and verse references of quoted Biblical passages. Whether these originated from the author or not, as the publisher T&T Clark should not have allowed such to happen.
