The worthy champion

In this study, Brian Hand blends theological analysis with literary observations to show how Revelation serves as the perfect conclusion to the Bible's depiction of Jesus Christ. A careful look at Revelations time and space, characters, literary figures, structure, and plot points distinctly to Jesus Christ as the perfect Prophet, Priest, and King and as uniquely worthy of worship. Hands synthesis of individual literary elements with Christology invites further study of Revelation from a literary perspective. In assigning Revelation a literary genre, Hand discusses the elements of definition and defines the terms apocalypse, drama, and prophecy. He concludes that failing to treat Revelation as prophecy betrays a faulty understanding of its true literary character. Hand investigates the names, characteristics, and actions of Christ, as well as examining the abuses, rules, and extent of symbolism. - Publisher.
