NTT: The Theology of the Book of Revelation

This series sets out to provide a programmatic survey of the individual
writings of the New Testament. It aims to remedy the deficiency of available
published material which concentrates on the New Testament writers' theological
concerns.

Richard Bauckham expounds the theology of the Book of
Revelation: its understanding of God, Christ and the Spirit, the role of the
Church in the world, and the hope of the coming of God's universal kingdom.
Close attention is paid both to the literary form in which the theology is
expressed and to the original context to which the book was addressed. Contrary
to many misunderstandings of Revelation, it is shown to be one of the
masterpieces of early Christian literature, with much to say to the Church
today. This study offers a unique account of the theology and message of
Revelation.

'A thorough reading - and rereading - of this slim
volume suggests that Bauckman's hope that it may contribute to the renewal of
the doctrine of God in our time may not be in vain, and that the series to
which it belongs may likewise contribute to the renewal of biblical
theology.' - M. Eugene Boring,Series: New Testament
