Missing, though, is how Revelation is the most visually stunning and politically salient text in the canon. \u003ci\u003eRevelation and the Politics of Apocalyptic Interpretation\u003c\/i\u003e explores the ways in which Revelation, when read as the last book in the Christian Bible, is in actuality a crafted and contentious word. Senior scholars, including N.T. Wright, Richard Hays, Marianne Meye Thompson, and Stefan Alkier, reveal the intricate intertextual interplay between this apocalyptically charged book, its resonances with the Old Testament, and its political implications. In so doing, the authors show how the church today can read Revelation as both promise and critique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55205517820278,"sku":"9781602585621","price":26.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41516616_63505e73-c750-4c74-9327-3c105792ff54.jpg?v=1780549285","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781602585621-revelation-the-politics-of-a","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
