John's apocalyptic revelation tends to be read either as an
esoteric mystery or a breathless blueprint for the future. Missing,
though, is how Revelation is the most visually stunning and
politically salient text in the canon. Revelation and the Politics
of Apocalyptic Interpretation 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.
