The Seven Messages of Revelation and Vassal Treaties : Literary Genre, Structure, and Function Paperback / softback
by David Graves
Part of the Gorgias Biblical Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book argues that the genre of the seven messages in Revelation 2-3 is a hybrid prophetic oracle.
This oracle is influenced by the Old Testament covenantal elements functioning as a set of lawsuit exhortations.
Graves defends this by demonstrating the influence of the Ancient Near Eastern vassal treaty structure in the seven messages.
Written in a readable format this work is both an excellent introduction to the book of Revelation as well as a fitting work for the apocalyptic specialist.
