Reading Revelation After Supersessionism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Truly a work of leading-edge scholarship, a precious stone amidst all the clay (to borrow from 4 Ezra 7). Korner labors assiduously to overcome the anachronistic or erroneous understandings of terms and concepts, like ekklçsia, historically divested of their Jewish heritage and essence. Reestablishing the thoroughly Jewish character of the Apocalypse, he proffers that its epistolary framework may be more precisely a ‘covenantal letter to the Diaspora,’ and its only supersessionist agenda the proleptic and future displacement of the Roman imperium.”
