Reading Revelation eBook • $19.99Book Description
In this new volume in the Reading the New Testament commentary series, biblical scholar Joseph Trafton considers one of the most enigmatic of biblical books. As Trafton writes in his Preface, “If we approach the book with genuine humility, setting aside preconceived notions about what it is supposed to mean and simply listen to it, then we can begin to sense something of its enormous power and beauty.” Examining the Revelation to John in its literary and theological contexts, Trafton finds a text that works through its cultural bounds to offer a word to believers in the here and now.
Book Reviews
“Trafton has produced a clear, understandable, insightful reading of the book of Revelation - not an easy task for a book that has left many readers puzzled and confused. One of the particular strengths of Trafton's commentary is his close attention to the structure of John's work and the internal connections between various passages of the book. Readers will also benefit from Trafton's identification of John's extensive indebtedness to the Hebrew Bible for much of his imagery and ideas.”
