John among the apocalypses, Reynolds, Benjamin E. (associate Professor Of New Testament, Associate Professor Of New Testament, Tyndale University College)
Описание: A vibrant and growing field of discussion in contemporary New Testament studies is the question of ‘apocalyptic’ thought in Paul. What is often lacking in this discussion, however, is a close comparison of Paul’s would-be apocalyptic theology with the Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature of his time, and the worldview that literature expresses. This book addresses that challenge. Covering four key theological themes (epistemology, eschatology, cosmology and soteriology), J. P. Davies places Paul ‘among the apocalypses’ in order to evaluate recent attempts at outlining an ‘apocalyptic’ approach to his letters. While affirming much of what those approaches have argued, and agreeing that ‘apocalyptic’ is a crucial category for an understanding of the apostle, Davies also raises some important questions about the dichotomies which lie at the heart of the ‘apocalyptic Paul’ movement.

Описание: Johns Revelation has led to countless diverse and divergent interpretations. Readers cryptic notions of violent end-time scenarios, strict prophetic truths, and encouragement for the faithful have undeniably colored the books reception through the centuries. In Visions of the Apocalypse, Bruce Chilton maps the ways in which the text has been read through the centuries and introduces these main interpretations of Revelation, such as Papias millenarian kingdom, Augustines vertical ascent to heaven, Origens transcendent message, and Dionysius belief in Revelations hidden message. Visions of the Apocalypse provides the ways in which Revelation has been read and suggests to todays readers the strategies for understanding Johns Revelation in a contemporary context.
Описание: Drawing on John's prophetic Apocalypse, theologian Catherine Keller unveils a "dreamreading" of our current global crisis-particularly the threat of climate change and ecological devastation. She shows that John's gospel is not a foretelling of future events, but a parable of our present reality, which exposes the deep spiritual roots of these threats.

Описание: The Apocalypse of John is perhaps the most alluring and dangerous text in any scripture. Yet in the post-Christian re-writings of Revelation by Shelley and Blake, John`s own dynamic of unveiling comes to life, subverting the structures of power and reading built on the visions of Patmos.

Does John's Apocalypse envision destruction or salvation for the nations of the world? Scholarly views on this issue range from extreme (total destruction) to extreme (universal salvation). Jon Morales maintains that the question must be reframed to highlight, not only the destiny of the nations, but also their dilemma within the drama of world history. Using narrative methodology, Morales asks four key questions concerning the nations: What is John's story of the nations? How does he tell this story? What is John's message to the nations? And what is his message to the church concerning the nations?
Literary characters cannot be understood in the abstract, but must be rather discovered sequentially in the development of an entire narrative. The nations in Revelation are no exception. Understanding that previous studies have neglected to situate the nations within Revelation's larger plot, or in interaction with other narrative characters, Morales concludes that John's purpose is to show that the nations belong to God. John achieves his purpose in part by deploying a novel metaphor, virtually unexplored until now - Christ, shepherd of the nations
