The Book of Revelation holds a special fascination for both
scholars and the general public. The book has generated widely
differing interpretations, yet Revelation has surprisingly not been
the focus of many single-volume reference works. The Oxford
Handbook of the Book of Revelation fills a need in the study of
this controversial book. Thirty essays by leading scholars from
around the world orient readers to the major currents in the study
of Revelation. Divided into five sections-Literary Features, Social
Setting, Theology and Ethics, History of Reception and Influence,
and Currents in Interpretation-the essays identify the major lines
of interpretation that have shaped discussion of these topics, and
then work through the aspects of those topics that are most
significant and hold greatest promise for future research.
John's Gospel is best known for its presentation of Jesus as the
Word of God made flesh. But as the narrative unfolds, readers
discover that the identity of Jesus is surprisingly complex. He is
depicted as a teacher, a healer, a prophet, and Messiah. He is
Jewish and Galilean, a human being who is Son of Man and Son of
God. Portraits of Jesus in the Gospel of John considers each of
these roles in detail, showing how each makes a distinctive
contribution to the Gospel's rich mosaic of images for Jesus.
John's multifaceted portrait of Jesus draws on a broad spectrum of
early Christian traditions, and the contributors to this collection
of essays explore the ways in which these traditions are both
preserved and transformed in the Fourth Gospel. The writers draw us
more deeply into the questions of the way in which traditions about
Jesus developed in the early church and how the Gospel of John
might contribute to our understanding of that dynamic process.
