{"product_id":"9780802872425","title":"Discovering Revelation : Content, Interpretation, Reception (Discovering Biblical Texts (Dbt))","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book of Revelation has been received over the past several centuries with both fascination and aversion, but one thing is certain: it has profoundly shaped Christian history and culture. And the way it has shaped history and culture has been determined, in large part, by how the book has been variously--and sometimes irresponsibly--interpreted. David A. deSilva addresses the interpretation and reception-history of Revelation in this compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introduction to the book of Revelation, focusing on its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretive debates, and historical reception. Discovering Revelation draws on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text-, and reader-centered) as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of interpreting the text. DeSilva pays special attention to defining features of Revelation, such as its use of sequences of seven as a major structuring device, its nonlinear plotline, and its deployment of contrast and parody.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William B Eerdmans Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49816854757624,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":58.73,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780802872425-1.jpg?v=1783615028","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780802872425","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
