'This book must rank among the very best contemporary writing in English on the Apocalypse.' Theology 'I strongly recommend Bauckham's masterful studies on Revelation in its historical context.' Thomas Renna, Utopian Studies

The Apocalypse of John is a work of immense importance and learning. Yet among the major works of early Christianity included in the New Testament it has received relatively little scholarly attention.This work is a significant contribution to remedying this neglect. The author examines the meticulous literary artistry, creative imagination, radical political critique and profound theology of the Apocalypse of John. It is a sustained enterprise to understand both the form and the message of the Apocalypse in its literary and historical contexts.An invaluable and illuminating work for students, scholars and ministers
