The Exposition of Revelation II

Service Description

A continued study of the Book of Revelation with a focus on its literary genre, theological themes, and various schools of interpretation. A detailed study of the argument with a view to teaching and preaching its contents. This course is designed to guide the student in a study of the final and somewhat unique book of the canon, namely, Revelation. Special emphasis will be placed on the genre issue, the different hermeneutical approaches to the book, crucial interpretive issues, the book’s literary structure and artistry, and its distinctively high Christology. We will also discuss the important question of teaching and applying the book in our present-day, apocalyptically fearful/sensitive setting.
