Literary work of art, apocalypse, visions, mystery... The Revelation of John is all this and much more. Accordingly, it has a captivating history of impact in art, music, film, and literature, among others. But how should one read it today? Michael Heymel offers guidance for the last book of the Bible, which in its fullness is sometimes difficult to access. He traces the reception and classical types of interpretation and appreciates the Revelation to John as a literary work of art. Examples from modern interpretive history—Bullinger, Kornelis Heiko Miskotte, Jacques Ellul, and others—illustrate how Revelation has been understood as a book of spiritual resistance: as a book of comfort and hope when Christians encounter fascinating powers, come under pressure, and are beset by apocalyptic fears—even today.
