Description

Reading Revelation Responsibly is for individuals who are at a loss for words by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from people who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He is taking interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation will have a powerful affect on one’s own–and other people’s–well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book’s original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the remainder of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to assist or harm people of their life of faith. Moderately than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.
