This is a new commentary on the 'Book of Revelation' for the
'Black's New Testament Commentary' series. George Caird's Black's
commentary on Revelation was a masterpiece of clarity and
accessibility. However, Revelation scholarship has moved on since
Caird wrote, and Ian Boxall's new commentary engages with these
more recent developments. Much work has been done on the nature of
apocalyptic, which has shifted the emphasis away from eschatology
to the revelation of heavenly mysteries. Boxall's book contains a
more substantial introduction which explores the nature of
Revelation as a visionary text, emphasises the author's Patmos
context, and pays more attention to the overall structure of the
work. It also engages with the Apocalypse's rich and varied
reception history. Following the example of Morna Hooker on Mark,
Ian Boxall also includes excurses tackling subjects such as
numerology, the number of the beast, and the portrayal of
Revelation's female figures. Here is a commentary which is fully
up-to-date and which brings fresh understanding to a most
controversial book on the Bible.
