A comprehensive look at the theology of John's Apocalypse. This thoroughly researched study includes:

• an investigation into the historical framework of the book: authorship, date, and occasion and purpose;


• a survey of literary-theological foundations: genre, text and canonicity, grammar and symbolic language, use of the Old Testament, literary structure, and interpretation; and


• a full literary-theological reading of the book, culminating in an exploration of the book's most significant theological themes: God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the people of God, worship, discipleship, salvation, God's judgment of evil, and the new creation.
