The Lamb Christology of the Apocalypse of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Johns persuasively argues that Revelation's Lamb Christology has ethical implications for Christians' nonviolent resistance. Strengths of the book include Johns's attention to exegetical detail, his thorough exploration of the background of the Lamb imagery, his balanced consideration of the merits and problems of seeing various Old Testament traditions as antecedents for the Lamb Christology, and his critical engagement with current scholarship. The book makes a fine contribution to New Testament scholarship on the Apocalypse, and should be read by anyone interested in the ethical implications of the book's violent imagery.”
