This is the first of its kind: an innovative socio-rhetorical commentary on the Book of Revelation. Without sacrificing scholarly perspective or academic rigor, it is written to be accessible for a wide audience - including pastors, scholars, teachers, seminarians, and interested lay people. A ?Suggested Reading List? - a feature of all volumes in the New Cambridge Bible Commentary - will serve as point of entry for the new student of Revelation and as a helpful annotated bibliography for all readers. Frequent ?Closer-Look? sections examine key elements of the Roman-Greco world that bear on the text?s meaning while ?Bridging the Horizons? sub-chapters connect this world with the cultural, political, and religious environments of today. The entire NRSV translation is provided throughout the text. Award-winning author Ben Witherington, III brings a New Testament-scholar?s insight and successful clergyman?s lucidity to the often opaque passages of the last book of the New Testament.
