Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Revelation Two lines of study have in recent years contributed to the elucidation of the Book of Revelation. In his editions of Jewish Apocalypses, Prof. Charles has not only furnished the key to its imagery, but has also shown the genesis of the system of religious thought to which its author, in common with the other N.T. writers, fell heir. Still more important for the understanding of the Book are the investigations of Prof. Ramsay and others into the social and religious life of the Asiatic provinces of the Roman Empire in the first century of the Christian era. The fruits of these studies are seen in a number of recent commentaries, of which those of Prof. Anderson Scott, Prof. Swete and Prof. Moffatt may be named. To the last of these the numerous references in this work show in a small degree my special indebtedness. But the unique contribution to the interpretation of the Book is always made through the reproduction in History of the conditions that gave it birth; and few ages in the history of the world have had such an opportunity of entering into the mind of the seer of Patmos and of experiencing the spiritual uplift of his vision as the present, which has become, in all essential features, ´partaker with him in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience that are in Jesus.´ I would take this opportunity of thanking my friends, the Rev. John Maclaren, M.A., of Ayton, and the Rev. John Morrison, B.D., of Edenkillie, who read the MS., and made many valuable suggestions.
