He argues that John composed the textual unit of Rev 11:1--14:5 as a coherent and unified literary unit structured in a macro-chiasm. He pays special attention to the fusion of form and content and seeks to elucidate how the concentric and chiastic pattern informs the meaning of the literary units within 11:1--14:5, and proposes that the text of 11:1--14:5 is best analyzed using Hebraic literary conventions, devices, and compositional techniques such as chiasm, paLibrary of New Testament studies ;283.ChristianityElectronic books.Christianity.228/.066Siew Antoninus King Wai913125MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461195303321The war between the two beasts and the two witnesses2045580UNINA
