The book has generated widely differing interpretations, yet Revelation has surprisingly not been the focus of many single-volume reference works. The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation fills a need in the study of this controversial book. Thirty essays by leading scholars from around the world orient readers to the major currents in the study of Revelation. Divided into five sections-Literary Features, Social Setting, Theology and Ethics, History of Reception and Influence, and Currents in Interpretation-the essays identify the major lines of interpretation that have shaped discussion of these topics, and then work through the aspects of those topics that are most significant and hold greatest promise for future research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is a standout in the \"companion\/handbook\" genre. The effort and expertise of the editor are everywhere apparent, from the selection and organization of the topics, to the choice of contributors. He probably also is responsible for the consistently focused discussions, which are always interesting and never veer off topic (unlike so many other works in this genre). This is essential reading for all NT scholars. * Scott D. Mackie, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003eWhile there are several edited books on Revelation, none is quite like this one. The Oxford Handbook of the Book of Revelation stands out as a very diverse blend across several perspectives. It offers a wide range of views and robust bibliography on a variety of interpretative issues. * Flavio Prestes III, Berrien Springs, Michigan , Andrews University Seminary Studies *\u003cbr\u003ean excellent handbook which summarises comprehensively the current approaches and debates and provides many fresh insights and avenues for further research * C. Stenschke, Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses *\u003cbr\u003eAll in all, the handbook provides a profitable overview of the essential issues * Margarette Strauss, Theologische Revue *\u003cbr\u003eThere are several positive features provided in this handbook ... this volume should be welcomed to the academic discussion. * Taman Turbinton, Journal of the Oxford Graduate Theological Society *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Contributors Abbreviations  1.
