Many interpretive issues continue to be        contested, such as the genre of the work. Is it an apocalypse, a letter,        or a book of prophecy? If it is all of these, how do the apocalyptic,        epistolary, and prophetic elements work together?                    Certain classic or well established approaches to the book of        Revelation, such as the use of Scripture, the genre, establishing the        text, and its peculiar Greek were assessed. But also newer approaches        were represented, explored, and taken further, for example, the        construction of time and space in the work, theological issues raised by        the work (such as individual predestination), ethical issues (violence),        and various aspects of the history of interpretation, reception,        lecture, and Wirkungsgeschichte. Challenges in the        interpretation of images and symbols were addressed, both from an        historical critical point of view and in relation to the dependence of        results on the scholarly approach selected by the interpreter.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546320150871,"sku":"9789042935020","price":98.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/new-perspectives-on-the-book-of-revelation-9789042935020","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
