Reading Revelation After Supersessionism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this ground-breaking study, Korner provides a carefully nuanced understanding of Revelation by focusing attention on group dynamics and nomenclature in the Roman world. He convincingly demonstrates that Revelation is supersessionist in wanting to replace the Roman imperium with a new Jewish order, yet given the thoroughly Jewish nature of the author’s symbolic universe, it is ‘post-supersessionist’ when it comes to the Judeans themselves. A rare combination of arguments that are scholarly and accessible at the same time.”

The Enduring Impact of the Gospel of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a truly interdisciplinary volume, with essays that are at once explicatory, creative, and practical. Exegesis grounds historical interpretations that illuminate modern readings in essays that will appeal to academics and clergy as well as a more general readership. The editors have brought practical theology alongside biblical and historical scholarship to show how the Gospel of John can critically engage contemporary cultural issues.”
