Scholars have often read the book of Revelation in a way that
attempts to ascertain which Old Testament book it most resembles.
Instead, we should read it as a combined and imitative text which
actively engages the audience through signalling to multiple texts
and multiple textual experiences: in short, it is an act of
pastiche. Fletcher analyses the methods used to approach
Revelation's relationship with Old Testament texts and shows that,
although there is literature on Revelation's imitative and
multi-vocal nature, these aspects of the text have not yet been
explored in sufficient depth. Fletcher's analysis also incorporates
an examination of Greco-Roman imitation and combination before
providing a better way to understand the nature of the book of
Revelation, as pastiche. Fletcher builds her case on four
comparative case studies and uses a test case to ascertain how
completely they fit with this assessment. These insights are then
used to clarify how reading Revelation as imitative and combined
pastiche can challenge previous scholarly assumptions, transforming
the way we approach the text.
