Ebbing and Flowing: Scholarly Developments in Study of the Book of Revelation

St John's College, Nottingham

Revelation has always presented major challenges for study, interpretation and application. Over the last twenty years there have been some significant developments in a number of areas, including greater understanding of Revelation's first-century setting, some settling of debate about the nature of its language, engagement with questions of the complexity of its structure, and a growing awareness of the impact of its rhetoric, both in its original contexts and in the history of interpretation. Yet there still remains a substantial gap between much scholarly insight and its appropriation at a more popular level.

Key Words: Apocalypse • Revelation • interpretation • social setting • rhetorical criticism • language • Old Testament in the New
