Revelation and the Politics of Apocalyptic Interpretation
"A splendid collection. This volume will help both the seasoned and the skittish interpret Revelation within its canonical context, and thereby move the academy and the church within hearing distance of apocalyptic texts in the gospels and epistles."--Eugene Boring, I. Wylie Briscoe Professor of New Testament, Emeritus, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University"For many Revelation has effectively been decanonized--mostly little read and even less understood. This fine collection ventures into intertextual, canonical, theological, and political readings of the book that advance theological reflection on the significance of Revelation for today."--Joel B. Green, Professor of New Testament Interpretation & Associate Dean for the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary"The contributors present a compelling case that there are real political implications in the interpretation and identification of the main message of the Apocalypse."﻿--Ched Spellman, Southwester Baptist Theological Seminary, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
