Synopsis

This book examines the book of Revelation from a critical perspective, examining its many symbols with thorough analysis and interpretation. The author places the text within the context of the larger biblical narrative, and draws upon other books of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament prophets, to shed light on the possible meanings and fulfillment of Revelation. The book carefully discusses the various ways in which the symbols within Revelation have been interpreted, and considers principles for interpreting these symbols in light of the book's genre as an apocalypse. This thorough analysis yields a reading of Revelation that emphasizes its relevance to the Christian church throughout history and interprets the future events it describes as reflective of the earthly experiences of the church, rather than as describing an end-of-the-world scenario.
