Synopsis:

The book of Revelation perennially provokes outlandish futurist predictions proven patently false over time. Such prophecy failures leave the inquiring mind with a strong sense that the book of Revelation is nothing but a hoax, safely ignored and without contemporary relevance. The inevitable practical result, not only for church members, but for their ministers as well, is a canonical book stripped bare of canonical authority. In this volume, six contributors collectively attempt to provide a path toward recanonizing Revelation, reclaiming its authority and relevance through christological foundations. The result is a book not only useful in the collegiate and seminary classroom, but also for serious small-group Bible studies wanting to glean from Revelation something deeper than a fear of being "left behind"

About the Author: Gerald L. Stevens is Professor of New Testament and Greek at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and author of several highly regarded textbooks on the Greek language with Cascade Books: New Testament Greek Intermediate (2008), New Testament Greek Primer (3rd ed., 2010), and New Testament Greek Syntax (forthcoming).
