The Revelation of John receives much attention in New Testament scholarship. This volume offers an extensive discussion of Revelation's historical location and date, its history-of-religions background and reception of early Christian tradition, as well as its rhetoric and theological aims and concepts. The volume contains papers from a Symposium held in Munich and additional invited contributions, which survey some of the most important current debates. The first part -"contexts"- contains essays on the text and the traditions adopted, the historical context and date of Revelation. The second part -"concepts"- focuses on theological themes, from Christology to eschatology and martyrdom. A third part on -"effects"- contains essays on several important forms of the reception of Revelation, from Montanism and Lactantius down to Orthodox liturgy and the art of William Blake.
