Compare The People of God in the Apocalypse by Stephen Pattemore, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This book examines how the original audience of the Apocalypse would have heard themselves portrayed in the visions of Revelation 4-22, and in what directions it would have motivated them. The challenge is following Christ's example of faithful witness, even to the point of death, and resisting rival claimants to the allegiance of the faithful. Stephen Pattemore uses Relevance Theory, a development in the linguistic field of pragmatics, to help understand Revelation against the background of allusion to other, biblical and non-biblical texts. | The People of God in the Apocalypse by Stephen Pattemore, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
