This practical commentary on Revelation is conversant with contemporary scholarship, draws on ancient backgrounds, and attends to the theological nature of the text. Sigve Tonstad, an expert in the early Jewish context of the New Testament, offers a nonretributive reading of Revelation and addresses the issue of divine violence. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs, showing how the text shapes moral habits, and making judicious use of photos and sidebars in a reader-friendly format.
Sigve K. Tonstad (PhD, University of St. Andrews) is professor of religion and assistant professor of medicine at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California. He is the author of several books, most recently The Letter to the Romans: Paul among the Ecologists.
