Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n This narrative commentary systematically examines John's Apocalypse from a narrative critical perspective. After an introduction to narrative criticism, the volume focuses on point of view, setting, rhetoric, character, and plot in the Book of Revelation. The rhetorical and symbolic significance of numerals are discussed at length as are the multifaceted characters in the book such as demonic animals (locust, beasts, dragon, birds) and apocalyptic animals (lamb, four living creatures). The symbolic significance of topographical, architectural, agricultural, and other settings is emphasized. The final chapter of the book is a summary of some of the major theological themes of Revelation. The volume provides a useful methodology for the study of a much disputed book of the Bible.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   '...a useful volume...a good example of the narrative-critical method in action.'\u003cbr\u003eKenneth Newport, Theological Book Review, 1999.\u003cbr\u003e'…Resseguie offers stimulating reading of Revelation…'\u003cbr\u003eSteve Moyise, Literature and Theology, 2000.\u003cbr\u003e'The book has the character of a manual and as such could be used as a very helpful teaching resource.'\u003cbr\u003eDavid E.
