In this concise and clearly written commentary, Charles H. Talbert brings to mainline Christians a fresh reading of the book of Revelation, demonstrating that it is not only accessible but relevant for the modern-day Christian. According to Talbert, the primary causes of the marginalized status of the book of Revelation by mainline Christians are threefold--the apparent inaccessibility of its meaning, the seeming impossibility of its pastoral application, and its demonstrated susceptibility to abuse. Talbert ably demonstrates that the book of Revelation was written to help the early Christians avoid assimilation into the larger pagan culture. Talbert also gives full attention to the literature of the Greco-Roman, early Christian, and early Jewish worlds as he examines the more mystical components of the narrative. 228.070664253636 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 228.07 Tal a E09000733 Non Fiction 228.07 Tal a E08004482 Non Fiction 228.07 Tal a-2 The_apocalypse_A_reading_of_the_revelation_of_john.jpg 57281 2014-12-16 10:48:29 2025-05-08 16:19:53 machine generated
