A vibrant and growing field of discussion in contemporary New Testament studies is the question of 'apocalyptic' thought in Paul. What is often lacking in this discussion, however, is a close comparison of Paul's would-be apocalyptic theology with the Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature of his time, and the worldview that literature expresses. This book addresses that challenge. Covering four key theological themes (epistemology, eschatology, cosmology and soteriology), J. P. Davies places Paul 'among the apocalypses' in order to evaluate recent attempts at outlining an 'apocalyptic' approach to his letters. While affirming much of what those approaches have argued, and agreeing that 'apocalyptic' is a crucial category for an understanding of the apostle, Davies also raises some important questions about the dichotomies which lie at the heart of the 'apocalyptic Paul' movement.

The Book of Revelation is a peculiar text whose special status in early Christianity is manifested by its manuscript attestation, transmission, literary references and discussions among early Church writers. This special status forms the nucleus of these collected essays and is highlighted from various perspectives. Nowadays of course, the Apocalypse has become a treasure trove of famous motifs for artists, composers, poets and novelists. On the other hand, however, it also appears to be something of a bon mot in that its manuscript tradition is rather sparse and highly distinctive. With the help of single phenomena that revolve around the extraordinary attestation and transmission of Revelation, the authors here are able to unveil how its peculiarity was perceived in early Christianity. Its manifestation in manuscripts and in the lively controversy about its value and orthodoxy thus resulted in it being treated as unique. - book flap

Le grand public n’en avait jamais entendu parler. Quelques spécialistes connaissaient son existence. Bien peu l’avaient vu. Gardé précieusement par les prêtres du Séminaire de Namur pendant des siècles, enfoui parmi les manuscrits anciens de leur bibliothèque, le Manuscrit de l’Apocalypse de Namur est enfin édité et accessible à tous ! Catalogué sous le numéro Ms 77 et appelé aussi Namurcensis, ce manuscrit remarquable est l’œuvre d’un artiste anonyme, probablement normand ou anglais, au début du XIVe siècle. Ses 85 miniatures peintes et enluminées, d’une facture exceptionnelle, illustrent le texte latin de l’Apocalypse de Jean, le dernier livre de la Bible. L’artiste a su rendre, avec une profusion de détails originaux, la force des visions du livre et la puissance de ses symboles : le dragon, la femme céleste, les anges, la foule immense, la chute de Babylone, les terribles violences humaines, et jusqu’à l’anéantissement de Satan dans l’étang de soufre et de feu… Pour accompagner et situer ces miniatures, l’exégète Joël Rochette propose un commentaire du texte biblique et une analyse de l’ensemble de l’Apocalypse de Jean en ses 22 chapitres. Ce commentaire est enrichi d’un glossaire des termes essentiels de l’Apocalypse, ouvrant vers des analyses très actuelles de ces thèmes, que ce soit à travers le cinéma, la musique ou la littérature… Les photographies sont l’œuvre de Guy Focant, photographe namurois, tandis que la notice historique est rédigée par Xavier Hermand, professeur d’histoire à l’Université de Namur.

Revelation studies have been typically characterised by two very different types of study emanating from academia and the church. Academia has been engaged in historical critical and source critical studies which typically dissect the text. Whilst the methods used in the church treat Revelation as scripture and keep the text intact, these approaches often lack the tools for sound interpretation. Tõniste observes the need for a more holistic and thoughtful methodology to study Revelation. Tõniste develops an approach that respects Revelation as a part of Christian scripture composed by and for the church, whilst simultaneously making use of respected modern academic methods that support unity (literary, canonical, and narrative criticism, intertextuality, and canonical location) to arrive at theologically sensible and satisfying interpretations. The basic key to unlocking the mysteries of Revelation lies in its abundant use of intertextuality, an area that remains still under-researched. This integrated methodology is explored through a reading of Revelation 21-22.
