A fresh theological encounter with the book of Revelation, informed by contemporary concerns and reading strategies Greg Carey, a respected scholar of the New Testament and apocalyptic literature, shows how Revelation can speak meaningfully to today’s readers. He highlights themes in Revelation that resonate powerfully in our current era: the person of Jesus, hope in the face of death and adversity, resistance, authority, violence, gender, wealth, and more. In so doing, Carey invites readers to reconsider old assumptions about the book of Revelation and reread the text with openness to new and surprisingly contemporary insights. Students, teachers, and pastors will find much to ponder and discuss here. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding of Revelation’s unique voice within the New Testament; an improved ability to articulate concerns and problems they may have with Revelation; and the resources they need to engage this complex book of the Bible in constructive and life-giving ways. Simply put, Carey’s Rereading Revelation is a paradigm-changing book.
