A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The book of Revelation is perhaps the most theologically complex and literarily sophisticated text in the New Testament. In this commentary John Christopher Thomas and Frank Macchia make the brilliant but challenging text of Revelation more accessible and easier to understand on its own terms, rather than as a futuristic prophecy. In addition to their literary, exegetical, and theological analysis of the text, Thomas and Macchia offer sustained theological essays on the books most significant themes and issues, accenting especially the underappreciated place of the Holy Spirit in the theology of the book. Uniquely, Thomas and Macchia work to locate and help readers better understand the original audiences to whom Revelation was written by examining Revelations storyline and its connection to the broader Johannine community.|The book of Revelation is perhaps the most theologically complex and literarily sophisticated text in the New Testament.
