About this listen

The Book of Revelation is a work of profound theology. But its literary form makes it impenetrable to many modern listeners and open to all kinds of misinterpretations. Richard Bauckham explains how the book's imagery conveyed meaning in its original context and how the book's theology is inseparable from its literary structure and composition.

Revelation is seen to offer not an esoteric and encoded forecast of historical events but rather a theocentric vision of the coming of God's universal kingdom, contextualized in the late first-century world dominated by Roman power and ideology. It calls on Christians to confront the political idolatries of the time and to participate in God's purpose of gathering all the nations into his kingdom. Once Revelation is properly grounded in its original context it is seen to transcend that context and speak to the contemporary church. This study concludes by highlighting Revelation's continuing relevance for today.

Excellent content poor narration

this is an excellent overview of the theology of the book of Revelation. however the narration was poor. it was read too fast and I find it difficult to concentrate on the content because he was reading at such high speed and without much thought of the weight of the content. he also doesn't know how to pronounce the difference between prophecy and prophesy. he pronounced them in the same way. I tried slowing the pace but that didn't help. please find someone else to redo this audio book. Thanks
