issues. General Bibliography--occurring at the end of each volume,

The Revelation to John by Stephen Smalley is a magisterial
interpretation of John's Apocalypse as a grand drama, which can
only be properly understood in light of John's Gospel and letters
and in the context of the Johannine community. As such, it offers
the reader a significantly different approach to this enigmatic
text than that offered by most contemporary commentaries. Working
directly from the Greek text, Smalley offers a masterful analysis
of the critical and literary dimensions of the Apocalypse for
students and scholars alike. Contents include an in-depth, critical
analysis of the Greek text of Revelation a wealth of scholarly
interaction with other commentaries and interpretations of
Revelation a canonical assessment of Revelation in light of other
Johannine texts a historical understanding of Revelation in the
context of the Johannine community an interpretation of Revelation
as cosmic drama Here is a fresh contribution to the scholarly study
of this captivating but often perplexing book of the Bible. Smalley
demonstrates that the Apocalypse speaks directly to any situation
in any age and offers a portrait of God's loving justice that is
relevant to our own society.
