A Theology of Revelation

This thoroughly researched study includes: - an investigation into the historical framework of the book: authorship, date, and occasion and purpose; - a survey of literary-theological foundations: genre, text and canonicity, grammar and symbolic language, use of the Old Testament, literary structure, and interpretation; and - a full literary-theological reading of the book, culminating in an exploration of the book's most significant theological themes: God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the people of God, worship, discipleship, salvation, God's judgment of evil, and the new creation. Readers will find here a study that is clearly written, attentive to the historical-literary context, with special attention given to the primary theological themes in the book. Perhaps above all, readers will have their hope in God and his amazing plan reinforced and strengthened.
