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 the Apocalypse in its literary and historical contexts.An invaluable and illuminating work for students,RevelationRevelation.228.06Bauckham Richard611404MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777802203321The climax of prophecy3755700UNINA
